Mabolo or Velvet Apple (Diospyros discolor) 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 cat feces). It is native to the Philippines with its tree known as Kamagong.
