Marula tree

Happy Hour in Africa

This is a real video (2 min. 49 seconds) from a French documentary about Africa ... You may not understand a word, not that you need to. There is a tree that grows in Africa which, once a year, produces very juicy fruits that contain a large percentage of alcohol. The tree is known as the "Elephant Tree," because elephants have a fondness for the fruit. Because there is a shortage of water, as soon as the fruits are ripe, animals come there to help protect themselves from the heat.

The tree is the Marula tree. You can buy a liqueur named "Amarula," made with Marula fruit and cream
