Sour Vine Fruit mainly grows in places with abundant trees and mountain valleys. This wild fruit matures around April each year, similar to cherries. In the eyes of children in rural areas, it is much tastier than cherries. When it is not ripe, it has a slightly green color and cannot be eaten. You have to wait until it turns red to eat it. The taste is sour and sweet, very delicious.

Anyway, it cannot be eaten when it is green, but it still has other values. I heard that children in the south have invented a toy with it. They fill the Sour Vine Fruit and shoot it out. It makes a crisp sound. In the 80s and 90s, this toy was very popular. Many children would go find Sour Vine Fruit to play with.
