Begs the question, what are those hanging on the tree?
Hi Hugh,
The so-called sausage tree grows a poisonous fruit that is up to 60 cm (2 feet) long, weighs about 7 kg (15 pounds), and resembles a sausage in a casing.
Some wildlife will eat the fruit, but unripe fruit is poisonous, especially to humans.
To make them edible, people bake them and slice them to eat the cooked pulp. The seeds are roasted as well and can be a nutritional resource since they are energy-rich and contain essential fatty acids. I have not tried it, but have seen these trees in abundance in Serengeti on a safari numerous years ago.
