FRUIT SAFARI #5: We encountered some ripe Sandpaper Tree fruits (Ehretia anacua - Boraginaceae) at Possum Trot Nursery in Homestead. I did not know at the time that they are sweet and edible, hence one of its common names, Sugarberry. Ill have to try some soon, when I return. You can read more about the plants uses if you click on my flickr photo below. Robert Barnum, you might want to read the notes on my flickr photo as well - a great honeybee nectar, fragrant flowers, useful wood, wild bird food, etc. to compliment the use that you mentioned, as a natural sandpaper (even to sand steel!). This beautiful shrub/tree might be of interest to Green Deane as well.
