When surveying Tarawa, we met several occurrences of a surprising kind of semi-Tall variety bearing red orange fruits. This variety could be useful to create new seed gardens, and particular to inter-plant with Green Kiribati Tall, or a green Dwarf. We provide here some detailed pictures about this variety. This is sure this is not a Dwarf, as the picture under well illustrate it: the semi tall is on the left side, and very close is planted a Kiribati Green Dwarf with thin stem and no bole (on the right side).
