Wampi

Evergreen tree up to 20 metres tall with soft, dark green, stalked leaves that have up to 11 alternate pinnate leaflets on each leaf stalk. Wampi produces many-flowered terminal panicles with very small pale flowers. The fruit is a spherical yellowish berry with fine hairs, a tough skin and gelatinous juicy pulp which contains up to five shiny green seeds.

Wampi is mainly grown in China and Vietnam for its grape-like fruits. They have a refreshing, sourish-sweet, fruity taste.

Although we have two large trees here, our wampis have not yet produced any fruit. The leaves have an unusual spicy smell when rubbed.
