My GARDEN MYSTERIES

Please let me know whatever you know about the plant materials in these photographs -- a common name, a latin name, how to care for them, where to plant them and whatever else you may think important. Please also let me know if you would like to be credited as the source of the information. I will use your first name, last name initial (if you come from a big city) and your country and city of residence, but will not include contact information unless you would like that included. I will never pass on your email information to anyone. In advance, thanks so much for any help you may be.

FOLIAGE PLANT MYSTERIES

These are all of the plants I think of as being delightful for their foliage. While they may flower, few of us would have them in the garden for that quality.

#5 Tree Mystery

This tree really is a true mystery as I can't exactly remember where I took the photograph. The fruit I photographed in the market, but can't find at the moment. I'm going to work on this puzzle, but no promises. If anyone knows what this tree is I would very much appreciate knowing.
We found this fruit for sale just last week at the food market here in Panajachel. Although it was expensive by local standards, there was no shortage of customers. We decided to buy some and were enthusiastically shown how to enjoy them. First open the pods, then chew softly on the seeds to enjoy the white soft material that encases them. When you've cleaned the seeds, spit them out and get some more.
Photographed: In Panajachel, Guatemala, in 2012.
Tea recipe for your health: It is said in Panajachel that if you take the dried seeds from the fruit of this tree and steep them in low boiling water for about five minutes you will have a tea that will clean your kidneys.
First put the seeds in the sun to dry. Do this for a day or so bringing them in at night so they don't become humid. You will know they are dried when they become lighter than when they were fresh.
