Nature in my City – Part 57 // @SkinnyGirl / #Club5050
The Merecure or Licania Pyrifolia is one of the most leafy and resistant trees of the Colombian and Venezuelan Llanos.
🍃 As a shade tree, it is used near country houses and in paddocks; with the same purpose it is planted in parks, squares and wide avenues.
🍃 Its oval fruits contain a floury substance that is edible and pleasant in taste. The wood of this tree has many applications in rural carpentry, such as the manufacture of shelves, pitchforks, among others.
🍃 In the wild, the merecure is part of the wooded vegetation of the low and warm lands. Slow-growing, it is a long-lived tree and a symbol of the Apure state - Venezuela.
🍃 In Ciudad Bolívar - Venezuela it is planted in several of its avenues, on Táchira Avenue, on the left corner of Casa San Isidro, where El Libertador Simón Bolívar wrote the Angostura Speech in 1819. Outside, there is one of these trees .

I don't think I've ever tried that fruit. I don't think I've seen it in the streets of my city, but this is the coast, so perhaps that tree won't thrive in our salty breeze and intense sunlight. Or I must look more carefully. Nice post; thanks for sharing it, @skinnygirl :)
That's how it is friend. The truth is that I have not seen Merecure trees on the coasts, I lived for a long time on Margarita Island and I did not see any. It is a very tasty and fleshy fruit, although many dislike its smell.
Hi, I've never seen the Merecure tree before. Its fruit looks like small melons. Thank you for the information you gave about this tree and its fruit :)
