Here they are, pictures don't really convey the almost sandpaper feel with the whitish dots (these look a bit like pre root white bumps) feeling a little sharpish to the touch. Is it a disease ? false pregnancy ? critter bites ? it looks like it is a trait because they are all the same on this tree (about 12 or so at least. 8" ish in length). It grows almost intertwined with a few others also sporting pods that are quite unlike these ones. These are the first pods that feel a little unpleasant to touch (almost defensive "stay away"feel ).
