      I'm in Malaysia. This is that one fruit you will rarely see in the market, but so common in local backyards. Probably it is not sold because the tree is usually so prolific and it produces fruit all year round thus there is no need to buy them if you have a tree. And yes, they're so good especially the ripe ones are very succulent and has a distinct aroma mixed with tanginess and a little bit sweetness, which I like.

      It is called "cauliflory." Theobroma sp. such as chocolate, redbuds (Cercis sp.), and most types of jaboticaba (Myrciaria sp.?) also do that, though usually higher on the trunk/branches. Maybe this plant is spread by ground-dwelling mammals like pigs or tapirs.

    I never studied Mandarin, but when I taught English in Manchuria (or Dongbei if you are Chi-com and geography offends you because history is politicized), it seemed like /guo/ was being applied specifically to melons and curcubit fruits in that part of China. Maybe it is a generic for "big fruit," like sapote seems to have come from Nahuatl for almost any large, soft, non-cactus, edible fruit?
