Hello, as you may know, most of the plants, fruits, etc do have a growing pattern when they grow, there are 3 sections in a banana, 5 sections in an apple, pineapple do have 5 and 8 spirals, daisies have 21 petals (most of the time), this is not knew material at all. But here is one that I have found in Nantes, it is a tree in a park, just beside a street. When I saw these <fruits> the first time, I thought these were tennis balls in a fluorescent green color. Not at all : these things grows on a tree : http://www.lacim.uqam.ca:16080/~plouffe/fruit/ They do NOT have any growing pattern at all. Does anyone has any idea what tree and fruit this could be ?? I asked many peoples and nobody came with an answer, I went to see wikipedia for exotic fruits as well without success. Simon Plouffe
