Marula

The Marula (Sclerocarrya birrea) is an African tree whose fruits are used in the liqueur Amarula.

The trees are not cultivated; the fruits are harvested from wild trees..

When ripe, the fruits have a light yellow skin, with white flesh, rich in vitamin C, around a large stone. They are said to be succulent and tart when eaten.
