Strange 'Stone Fruit' Found On Malibu Beach: Photo Of The Day

MALIBU, CA—Flowers are in bloom and trees are budding all across the Southland. Melinda Pressler came across some out-of-the-ordinary sprouts she called "stone fruit."

"I was surprised to spot these rocks rooted to the branches on the shore of the Malibu beach while walking with my dog," Melinda told Patch.

Thank you for sharing, Melinda! Hopefully, some experts out there can help us identify your beach find.
