'''Mabolo''' or '''Velvet Apple''' (''Diospyros blancoi'') is a plant closely related to the [[ebony]] tree and the [[persimmon]]. Its edible fruit has a skin covered in a fine, velvety fur which is usually reddish-brown, and soft, creamy, pink flesh, with a taste and aroma comparable to fruit cream cheese(the aroma of the fruit itself, however, is unpleasant, comparable to rotten ceese or cat feces; inspiring names like the french "Caca de Chat" in Reunion). It is native to the [[Philippines]] with its tree known as [[Kamagong]].
