Bahasa Melayu: Pokok Cermai
I bought this Cermai plant for the Fruit Garden in my school more than a year ago. I had been waiting and waiting for it to bear fruit and it finally did. I had a pleasant surprise waiting for me when I checked on the trees last Friday.
Here is some info about this plant which is nicknamed Anggur Malaysia or Malaysian Grapes by the village folks.
English: Otaheite gooseberry, Malay gooseberry, Star gooseberry
Scientific name: Phyllanthus acidus L.
Family: Euphorbiaceae
This is a Cermai tree with lots of fruit. Hopefully the tree that I planted would have so many fruits as well, then I can preserve them.
