Rambutan is a very common local fruit in my place but i hv never tried the seed before,in my opinion the Rambutan seed can't be eaten. May be someone else have tried before? Both rambutan and pulasan seeds are indeed edible after cooking. I've eaten roasted rambutan seeds and they were delish. Tasted a bit like roasted almond. Logged Oscar
Growing Rambutan in Southern California I just spoke with my friend who I received the tree from. He said it would be really weird if coffee came up in the three places he planted the rambutan seeds, but said its possible given he has a small, fruiting coffee plant growing in his yard. Sorry for the confusion if it turns out to be coffee. I guess only time will tell. Thanks everyone for your ...
Rambutan Fruit tree in California The closest thing you will see to it fruiting is if you buy some South American fruit from the store and place them under the tree. Ok, on a more serious note, I would prepare for the inevitable... Yeah yeah, some will say I am being obnoxious and negative...well, sometimes the truth hurts. Logged - Rob
Rambutan in Florida I bought two seedling rambutans from Excalibur about 5 years ago. They were in 3 gallon containers and about 3-4 feet tall. Decent sized trees. I kept them in the container and continuing with my usual style of neglect I left them outside for the entire winter. They only lost their leaves and had barely a few inches of die back. Resprouted in the spring and I killed them by ...
Yellow rambutan Quote from: Johnp18261 on , 04:41:49 PM Can I grow them in Florida?

Growing them can be challenging enough, as they require regular watering and fertilizing, however it is definitely doable in a pot. I grew one to 8 ft tall before planting ...
Keeping rambutan happy in pots ? Thanks everyone for the replies. I like the idea of using coco fiber and the plants I bet would like that. My goals are not to grow rambutan in maturity in pots but even to keep them happy in nursery pots until they get planted in the ground or are sold. Last year I planted well over 100 and most died. The round I planted this year are starting to sprout and ...
Rambutan is a fruit that I want to get to know (in detail and scientifically-in-depth) more about; just as I’ve regularly seen ‘Experts’ routinely go about doing so in this Forum.
Which is better, Rambutan or Longan? I bought some rambutan today but they are clingstone, still good fruit but I was disappointed at how tough it was to simply eat the fruit compared to lychee pulp. Probably would be way better with freestone. The flavor of it was really really good though! Just like lychee, but with an unmistakable cantaloupe/honeydew flavor. I've never tasted longan but I ...
