mystery fruits

So here are my mystery fruits ... any guesses?







And I also forgot to mention that oranges and lemons also grow here ... and that my strange boys love eating raw lemons ... here is the photographic evidence! I really don't think they are that deprived of Vitamin C!

I don't know what it's called in English but we used to see those knobbly green ones in the Middle East too!

I thought the yellow one was a pepper, but could it be a tomato? Is the green one really a fruit?

Rather a late answer as we have been to OZ... would the first one be cashew fruit, I think the green bit is where the flowers was, puzzelled about the green one, but would love to see a photograph of them cup open.

I think you are right mum as I see there is some discussion on facebook suggesting cashew. I saw a picture of a bitter tomato and it looked pretty identical. Still not sure about the green one though - could it be another nut?

Anacardium occidentale
would have been my guess as well. Cashew for short. No idea about the green one...

Yes, the first is a cashew fruit - the green is actually the nut! The green one is a custard apple, or sugar apple! Thanks for all the guesses!
