I am from Canada, but Guyanese. I have been searching the net for this fruit. I just came across a YouTube channel that the person was eating jujube. I said wait a minute this looks like Dungs cause these ones are large almost like an apple size. So happy to find some information on Dungs. Wish I could find this fruit in a grocery store here. I use to have Dungs Tree on our property back home Gyna
Iāve been in the US for almost 40 years and I can still taste a nice dungs. When I was growing up Iām Guyana one of my neighbors had a tree. Still remember looking for the brown ones. :-)
I was given some dark red fruit yesterday, but they tasted like "dunks", which is what we call it in my native Eastern Caribbean. So I roamed the internet today, looking for "coolie plum", its name in Jamaica. Scientific name? Ziziphun Mauritiana.
This is dungs, but there is a variety found "down d islands" in Trinidad that get as large as an apple. It is delicious. I've seen and tasted it only once. So it is relatively rare.

In St. Maarten (Dutch Side), it's called "pumsarett". I'm not even sure how it's spelt, but that's what it's called here.
Locally in sxm it is called pomserrette. We even have a street named after it.

In st.Maarten we call them āpomme suretteā long time since I had some. Definitely a major part of my childhood. My aunt use to make rum from them.
