Just to break the tedium. My old K110D & FA 80-320 can still produce fine images. A Mopane tree trunk & delicious monster. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/51240507449/ K110D & FA 80-320 @ 320mm, f8, 1/250sec, ISO 400. Alan C

Monstera deliciosa! The BG is the garden wall some 7m beyond. The large bed in between has been stripped of old plants & will be repopulated with rocks & aloes.

I know the fruit is regarded as good to eat (hence the specific) but I don't remember ever seeing one in fruit, even though I've seen some massive ones.

Yes, a bit like Pineapple. We have several plants in our garden but have had very few fruits - no idea why. They grow very easily in our climate.
