Aratiles tree has tiny white flowers and soon these flowers turn into green berries and when ripe it turns deep red and very sweet. I'm sure most filipinos have eaten this fruit during their childhood days. It is a wild tree and would grow just anywhere, even on roof gutters.
What is the scientific name of the tree ARATILES?
Muntingia calabura. I used to pick them from my neighbors yard.
