tr starts with ... Picked a kilo of these today at work . I like the taste of these , another sub-acid little treat that is ultra tropical . A mate lost hundreds of grafted ones he was trying to grow in Childers . Can take 20 years from seed ! Maybe not that long with some TLC .

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... There is another kind of fruit called rambai which is very similar to wampee or langsat/duku that has been grown in Cairns, quite rare because I have seen them sold in Rusty market only twice in the last 15 years http://www.totalizm.pl/fruit/new_buah_rambai.jpg http://www.capetrib.com.au/rambai.htm we have them in VN, big and small fruit types mainly in Long Khanh. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE Melbourne 13th August 2009 8:57am #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

Ellen says... Nguyet I've look at those link, rambai is the same as the wampi . Remember there are 2 varies in the Wampi. -Yeem Pay -Guy Sam One is sweeter than the other.(AS Correy had said.) In North VN, they're plenty, when in fruiting season.In LK the weather is a bit warmer than in N.VN so it is not as much. Michael In Cabramatta, there are only 3 shops that sells them . I forgot their names, I'll post it up after I go down there this weekend -shopping. And for this fruit, there are no "let try" as they are over $20+/Kg, and some shop don't even let you choose, as they have already packaged it for you. Tr, he's down in Melbourne as well, he said he had 2 plants of it as well, 1 he put in ground, only fruit once when he bought it, after he put in ground it only grow lushy but never fruit for him, even though it had grown to quite bushy. But the one he planted in pot, it fruit every year for him . So How long have you got your Wampi plant already Michael ? | About the Author Smithfield 14th August 2009 12:17am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Ellen, I have tasted 3 types of similar fruit in Cairns. rambai: fruit bunches came out from the trunk of the tree in a farm in Inisfail. Skin is very thick, it is very hard to separate seed from flesh http://www.kiaraholidays.com/images/gallery/medium/Eatable%20Rambai%20Tikus.jpg Langsat/duku: 2 varieties: small type is in bunches but very much like a bunch of grape, the bigger type in cluster. The skin is not thick but peelable. www.flickr.com/photos/pyejal/2745388193/ wampi has fruit in a bunch but from the terminal end of the branches not the trunk, very small fruit has very citrus smell and paper thin skin and seed can be separated from flesh. Segments are not quite separated like the other two described above. I had one in the pot but died last year. http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/wampee.htm | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE Melbourne 14th August 2009 8:20am #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Ellen, In Saigon we called rambai, the long stem bunch: 'da^u da' langsat/duku, short stem bunch (small type) or loose (big type): 'bong bong' wampee 'trai nha^m'. I never saw wampee sold in Saigon but my neibough from north VN said that what they called in the North. It makes sense because oringinally this fruit come from China which is closed to North VN. Perhaps different regions give them different names | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE Melbourne 14th August 2009 1:15pm #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

Matthew says... dUku or langsart are twice as big as a grape.Break into the light brown skin to reveal creamy grey flesh which is split into segments. It is very sweet with a sour edge and sticky.Grows in large bunches. I liked this fruit better than logans. I lived in Thailand for a while, langsart are a great fruit. Available in Thailand from June to October. Price in Thailand 30 baht to 90.

www.charmingindochina.com says... Langsats in Malaya generally bear twice a year-in June and July and again in December and January or even until February. In India, the fruits ripen from April to September but in the Philippines the season is short and most of the fruits are off the market in less than one month. We do not have this in Northern of Vietnam as it is hot to grow this in North of Vietnam, In South of Vietnam you can easy to find this. You travel to North of Vietnam and can only buy this nice fruit from market that we import from the South. www.charmingindochina.com | About the Author wwwcharmingindochinacom1 Vietnam 13th August 2010 1:30pm #UserID: 4077 Posts: 2 View All wwwcharmingindochinacom1's Edible Fruit Trees |

rev says... The ones in Bali ive read are mostly 'wild harvested', which i think really means from low input agroforests versus from intensively managed orchards. If you look and see what wild is, its really normally complex agroforests I brought back seed, which was allowed clean off all pulp Id reccomend EMS service if you want to ship seed to australia but really its safer to bring it with you on the plane so it doesnt go mouldy at any rate i left mine too long and they didnt come up, oh well next time the fruit at the start of this topic dont look like what i know as langsaat. Langasat in Bali are fairly large, leathery yellow skin with white latex and a grape like fruit inside with green seed you can rely on them being about AU$1.00 kg or less when you are up in the hills, tourist price near the beach! anyway its still cheap compared to anything here and they dont have any social security There is a fruit tree agribusiness company in Surabaya that supplies grafted trees of many excellent tropical fruits i think incl langsat i have a flyer somewhere... if i can ever find it another time.. | About the Author Rev nq 17th August 2010 1:35pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

rev says... Langsaat i doubt it. its preferred loaction is rainforest covered river valleys and i dont think anywhere in the west would suit it , bar the ord river irrigation area Jackfruit for sure. Ive brought it back to WA before - minimal problems you clean the seed well, take a pack of zip lock baggies over with you,a permanent marker, and some dry perlite of spaghnum You eat the local fruits with wanton abandon owing to their quality and cheapness keep the pips and throw them in a bag with the spaghnum while you are over there the spaghnum will keep them fresh and nice the day before you leave you wash the seeds well and put in the zip lock sandwich bags and write the botanical name on the bags email me and i can help you if in doubt reville1@gmail.com then you just declare at customs if the officers object dont be upset and dont give up, simply say that you believe them to be permitted ( we can check all this on the databases before you leave) and that they be forwarded to canningvale where a senior AgWA person will inspect , and most often clear and forward to you The needs and powers are well defined but the grunts i hate to say are not well trained, its very easy and well worth it to go above their heads if youve already done your homework.. and you get what you are allowed to have even though you might not be able to grow something id be very keen to swap/trade/buy/ pre-buy and provide all necesary assistance to ensure you eat as much yummy fruit as possible :D:D i may be in Bali myself christmas time, but either way, get it while its legal.. | About the Author Rev north qld 26th August 2010 5:49pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... The ICON printout is pretty definitive if it is in the cliplock bags. If in doubt alert DAFF that you will be declaring seeds and give flight details. I ate some duku-langsat today and they were great. Indonesia and sth Malaysia has mostly duku as they are more equatorial. Langsat can survive in the subtropics and longkong is intermediate in cold tolerance.I can't advise on Indonesian nurseries but the markets should have all the seasonal fruit. | About the Author Cairns 18th May 2013 6:01pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkok says... Linton if you want longkong seeds then let me know. http://www.dizonexoticfruittrees.com/lanzones/ I read this website and they say the ones from Thailand are much better then the phaete variety. I just bought a grafted longkongtree and now i wonder if i have to grow it in full sun or in shade. That website says the ones from Thailand can grow in full sun but many other websites say they like to be in shade. If you ask a Thai about langsat they will tell you that longkong is much better. I only have eaten longkong and there are very nice ones with very little latex. You get sticky fingers/lips but for the rest i didn't see latex at all. Sending seeds in spagnum moss works fine, i sent some like that and they arrived in perfect condition in the USA. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 22nd December 2015 10:25pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Hi Bkk....... thanks for the offer of Longkong seeds. I doubt if they could be grown in Melbourne. Anyway I need to wait for the Longan seeds you sent to see if they will pass through our customs without any problems. I have not tried to import seeds since the new regulations which do not permit them to be sent by private individuals. They can only be sent by a registered supplier so I want to see if this is going to cause problems for your packet. Also there's supposed to be a notice written on the outside advising the postal that they need to be inspected on arrival. So let's wait and see what happens with this lot.
