Unique fruit discovered on site

I went up to the roof top yesterday with a friend. This friend is a Sifu in swiftlet farming having constructed many successful swiftlet farms for the owners in the state. The moment he stepped foot on the roof top, he immediately turn his attention to a tall tree facing the the entrance hole and told me not to disturb this tree. He said this tree will attract a lot of insects during the fruit season. All this while I just acknowledged this tree as one of the trees around my birdhouse but this time it really caught my attention. This tree is quite unique that its fruits point towards the sky. Only then did I realised that this fruit is almost similar to the one that I am looking for.

I have to admit that this is the first time that I saw this fruit in Terengganu soil. The fruit that I am looking for is called the miricle fruit by XKL because it can cure all sort of illness. It is also called fruit or 'buah tunjuk langit' as the Malays called it. The fruits are from the mahogany tree. I have been buying the dried fruits and processed it into capsules and consuming it for the past 6 months taking 2 capsules daily. I have been having hypertension since my youth and my blood pressure has always ding dong around the borderline of140/90 even after medication but since taking this fruit my bllod pressure has turned normal. I took my blood pressure yesterday using the OMRON digital blood pressure monitor and the result after 3 readings averaged 120/81. Just fantastic. There are a lot of testimonies on the efficacy of this fruit in the net.

Today, I went up the roof again to make sure if the fruit is sky fruit or another type of fruit. Looking at the fruits again and paying more attention, I saw that the texture is a bit different from sky fruit. I tried to ask one of the workers doing plastering on the roof top and he seems to know the fruit. He told me the fruit is called 'Diah' and when ripe will drop down. They are edible and usually the fruits are collected and fried before eating. The texture of this fruit resembles the nangka or cempedak. I went back to my office, still not convince on my discovery and I asked one of my collegue who is from Besut who use to live in a kampung. I described to him the characteristics of the fruit and tree and he seems to recognise right away as there are a few trees in his kampung. He told me that this tree is a jungle tree and very tall and it bears fruits similar in size to a small cempedak. He told me the villagers called the fruit 'buah diah'. To counter check that this fruit and tree really exist by this name 'Diah", I did a search on the net typing the words 'buah diah' but I could not find them. It could have been known by another name and could have been very rare. Hope readers can enlighten me on this fruit and tree. I find the fruit unique because the fruits ponts upward instead of hanging down like the nangkas or cempedaks and also it looks similar to the sky fruit which I had described earlier as the miracle fruit. .

Do contact me if you would like to have a look at this fruit or tree. one of the few with its fruit upright and as unique as the swiftlets which fly non-stop and do not hang or stop on trees.

Below is a short write-up about the miracle fruit which i want to share with my readers.
