Is it edible?

Go over to the NAME THAT PLANT forum first. There are a bunch of knowledgable people over there.

As a footnote, I was in Afghanistan (US Army) in 2002-2003. Afghanistan has a rich agricultural heritage; unfortunately, much of that heritage had been lost due to Soviet and Taliban destruction/mismanagement. I'm told large seed banks of unique plants have been lost.

I was told by an Afghan agricultural official that many provinces have melons that are unique to their area. I have eaten some of the melons they grow; unique and delicious. I would hope that someday we can get seed from some of these unusual plants so we may grow them in our gardens, and preserve some of that diversity for future generations.

Cool Pic. I would agree with redneck_grower that you should try the NAME THAT PLANT forum. I've used it before and you would be surprised at the wealth of knowledge some of the readers of that forum have. If you do manage to find out, or obtain seeds from ripe fruit, please email me. I would be interested in trying to grow it. Thank You.

Looks like a strawberry guava to me!
