Fan Palm berries

Because the leaves look like an opened fan the tree has got this name - fan palm. We have had this tree for several years but we have not seen much growth. However it produces these beautiful cluster of berries. I am not sure they can be eaten and was wondering if the birds eat them too until I saw this morning cuckoos on the tree enjoying them. Cuckoos also like the noni fruit. Perhaps they know the health benefits of the noni fruit. Strange that the cuckoos do not mind the stink these fruits have when they are fully ripe

@kareng Noni is sold as a drink and there is a process to prepare it like fermenting and stuff

Oh yes, the smell of the ripe noni is not very nice.

Looks pretty, but the smell of the ripe noni is not very nice.

Can you look up on the internet to see if you can eat them?
