I absolutely love this tree. The leaves smell like gasoline, the fruit ripens for an incredibly short window once a year, the flowers are pollinated by fruit flies, the leaves make it look like a tropical plant... it's just so weird and beautiful. And because they're best eaten ripe off the tree, they're a great reminder to enjoy the little things as they happen, because some things just can't be saved for a rainy day.
