      Raspberries.

      Favourite tree though is the cinchona tree. The bark of the cinchona tree contains quinine, which was the first ever anti-malarial drug, discovered a few hundred years ago and still used today in some cases. That tree has saved quite a few lives…

      Hi Richardk

      I do like a really nice pineapple. It’s got to be really juicy and just a couple of days before it starts going a bit too brown round the edges.

      Hi richardk,
      A good question! Myself and a few of my workmates recently had a competition between ourselves to see what was the most exotic fruit we could find – sad but true! 🙂
      My favourite fruit at the moment is the kiwi fruit. It used to be called the Chinese Gooseberry, until New Zealand growers renamed it in the 1950s so they could sell more of them!

      I love strawberries – unfortunately my rabbits do to, so I don’t often get a look in when they are in season!
