Kigelia africana - Sausage Tree Fruit - Balboa Park, San Diego, CA.

Here's a few of the hundreds of sausage-like fruits developing on the Sausage tree in the previous photo. Photo taken on May 25, 2011.

I've never asked - are they edible (or would you want to)?

Meanie:

They're used medicinally for different ailments (not edible, though).

Thanks! The fruits should be pretty large by now. I'll have to go back and take some new pics.
