This wasn’t a common fruit in my childhood, for the sole reason that we didn’t have a balimbing tree in our backyard; but friends would occasionally send some over, or we used to pick them straight off their trees. Today, I probably only purchase the fruit once or twice a year, when in season (May-June) and I have a hankering for something sour.

Birds love the fruit and I think they are responsible for propagating the tree all over the archipelago. From here, kamachile seeds/seedlings were taken to India, where they are known as “Manila tamarind,” according to Doreen Fernandez in her book on Philippine Fruits.

Caimito must have made a terrific impression early on, because the tree found its way into many backyards by the 1950s, providing not only an attractive shade tree with two-toned colored leaves, but the fleshy sweet fruit we associate with the start of the scorching summer heat.
