They are very streight and tall, few bigger than the calf of a mans Leg.

[The Fruit.] The Nuts grow in bunches at the top, and being ripe look red and very lovely like a pleasing Fruit.

When they gather them, they lay them in heaps until the shell be somewhat rotted, and then dry them in the Sun, and afterwards shell them with a sharp stick one and one at a time.

These trees will yield some 500, some a 1000, some 1500 Nuts, and some but three or four hundred.

They bear but once in the Year generally, but commonly there are green Nuts enough to eat all the Year long.
