Finally I find ripe rambutan.
Look so many reddish fruits on the tree.
There are so many black ants on the tree, especially on the fruits cluster.
Rambutan is come from word 'rambut' means hair.
So... look the hairy skin!
There are black mold on the fruit skin, and of course it will invite the ants to come on.
Yesterday, my son asked me to pick some rambutan.
Then, I picked some fruit clusters for him.
Actually, I want to let the fruits reach their peak of maturity with the dark red skin.
When I tasted the pulp, it's taste fairy sweet and dry.
And the pulp is not too juicy.
I didn't know how much he ate it.
I found so many seedless fruits.
As the first time fruiting season, the yield is not bad enough.
I'm so confuse, I will cut it down the tree or will let the tree grow and produce better yields.
I haven't seen anything like that before, very strange fruit to me.Maybe it would be good mixed with other fruit.
ReplyDeleteRambutan is very popular fruit here. This plant is native from South East Asia, especially Indonesia. There are so many varieties here. Actually this fruit have very good taste, sweet and fairy dry.
DeleteThey look like really large peeled grapes.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I think so
DeleteI wasn't expecting it to look like that inside. It reminds me of lychee.
ReplyDeleteThey are members of the same family, so they look similar
DeleteInteresting looking fruit indeed! Do you eat them as they are or do you cook with them too?
ReplyDeleteThe pulp is great to eaten fresh, so tasty
DeleteNow I'm confused! Why would you cut down a tree that is giving you such lovely fruit? As Jo says, they look like lychees, a delicious fruit, so I think it best that they tree stays!
ReplyDeleteThe tree does not give me the yield as good as my expectation. In my expectation, the tree have a cluster of fruits at the end of the branching or every trunks. And... the taste should be much sweeter.
DeleteI don't know why you would want to cut it down, you like like you have a fairly good harvest from them
ReplyDeleteI have make a chance, you now that I only have limited land, so only a good quality of plant will stay longer in my little home garden
DeleteNice pictures of the Rambutan. I know this fruit from a visit to Indonesia a long time ago, it is delicious. I should not yet cut down the tree, give it another chance it has given you some good fruits.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I should be patient. Maybe the next season the yield will much better. I really hope that. The yield is usually influenced by the current weather
DeleteRambutan is again something new for me.
ReplyDeleteInteresting fruit.
We regret that it is broken Translate.
I wish you a pleasant weekend.

This fruit is very popular here. I hope you can taste it someday
DeleteThey look similar to a fruit I loved in Jamaica when I visited. They called them ginups there.
ReplyDeleteSounds so interesting. I have never known about it. We have so many similar fruits here. I'm not sure its the same fruit. Thanks for sharing your experience
Deletethey look delicious, I salute
ReplyDeleteYes, but the yields isn't optimum yet
DeleteThey look like lychees. I've recently found a lychee juice to buy here which is delicious but I've never tasted the fresh fruit yet
ReplyDeleteBoth of them have a similar taste. Rambutan has softer flavor, and in some varieties less juicy than lychee
