One of the most exotic looking fruits and closely related to the lychee, very tropical     Rambutan, pronounced ram-BU-tan, varies in type and quality.
Yellow-Fruited Rambutan
	Delicious fruit, variety of the rambutan, but very rare outside of southeast Asia.     Yellow-fruited rambutans are called 'Atjeh koonig' in Batavia. In Malaya, 'Rambutan     gading' indicates a yellow type. This  striking fruit may be greenish yellow, orange or crimson.  Oval or globe-shaped, they are usually one to two inches  long with a section of the stem attached. The soft flexible  hairy bristles are about one-half inch long.  Prized  for its exceptional juicy-sweet texture, Rambutan flavor is  really quite subtle.
The large seed has an almond-like taste. The tree is large and attractive, with a branched trunk and densely foliated with pinnate leaves. The     2" fruit, borne in terminal clusters of 10-12, resembles a chestnut burr in appearance. It is usually bright red when ripe, sometimes orange, with the skin covered     with soft, fleshy spines. The flesh is white, adhering to a flattened seed, whose flavor     varies from sweet to subacid. Yellow-Fruited Rambutan	>               Rambutan trees fruit twice a year, yielding crops beginning late June and August and in     December and January. Growing seasons vary, however, in each of the tropical countries     where it flourishes. Truly tropical, Rambutan trees love warm humid climates.  They     also make great potted plants for indoors for those who live in non-tropical areas.
> Native Range: Native to Western Malaysia. Cultivated     in parts of southeast Asia but rarely elsewhere.     Rambutan is a popular Fruit in the tropics.  This Exotic Fruit prefers full sun     but do best on deep soils that are high in     organic matter and thrive on hilly terrain as they require good drainage.       Rambutan     trees bear twice annually, once in late fall and early winter with a shorter season in     late spring and early summer.  The fragile     nutritious fruit must ripen on the tree, then they are harvested over a 4-7 week period.     Evergreen Rambutan     trees with their abundant colored fruit make beautiful landscape specimens. Uses: suitable for  unique     colorful fruit specimen. An easily grown  Exotic Fruit tree     which likes full sun/light shade, and a moist, well drained position. Trees grown from seed bear after 5-6     years.	Nephelium lappaceum This large evergreen tree, native to  Borneo and neighboring countries is a relative of the litchi. It  is sometimes sold in markets as a variety of the rambutan,  although it is actually a distinct species. The fruit is  plum-sized, growing in clusters of 3 - 5, having a thick skin  with deep yellow, rough surfaces bearing short, blunt spines.  The pulp is translucent white, adhering strongly to a large  seed. The seed is also edible fresh or cooked. Uses: Fruits are eaten fresh.
Of the botanical     family, Sapindaceae; it is also known by the botanic name Nephelium lappaceum var. Yellow-fruited

Cash payment can not be sent through the mail.            Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING  RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are  NOT eligible for any discount. We will ship once a  week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the special  stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you.  This  can only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture.  If  payments are not met before that MONDAY, your items will be  shipped the following week and lose the combined discount  opportunity.

As  each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay  the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the  same species in that item it does calculate out the discount  (i.e.: additional items) My stores' combined  shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied  selection. Domestic S/H includes postage, USDA certification  and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for  prompt delivery. I can't really change any of these. If you  want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount  much as each different species requires it's own prep,  packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected  then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every  last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on  the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, 2-3  days to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day  we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours),  then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes  the same work with the same type item if you can understand.
Before you purchase	After you Receive  your Items.
When you order a plant  we assume you are prepared to care for it. It is your  responsibility to know how to care for the plant. Do some  research before they arrive or seek experienced help.  Small plants  need protection from many things, wind, sun, dry-out. They  do well just in the garage or living room. They need good  light but not sunlight (full sun will burn small plants).  Small pots dry-out easily. Just sitting in a shallow tray of  water works well. The idea is to keep the plants from  dehydrating.  Be  careful if you decide to re-pot.  Re-potting voids any warranty. Plants are easily damaged  with new/different mix. Use NO fertilizers (this may kill  your plants). Proper care is critical upon arrival. Live Plants are NOT GUARANTEED  to survive under your care. DO NOT expect any live plant to  be GUARANTEED to remain alive. Plants are NOT GUARANTEED TO  SURVIVE after you begin Care! Live arrival is guaranteed,  eternal survival is up to you.  IF YOU are NOT able to provide PROPER CARE, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT  plant to be GUARANTEED after it perishes. NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT. Please Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged. If you repot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered. All  photos must be as arrived in original condition as received (in the box and packed as delivered). If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant. NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT. Not every plant that I grow survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there is no way to know what kind  of conditions it will endure in the trip to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered to your door. You are agreeing to these terms when you make this purchase from this listing.	LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE. There is the risk when you grow plants that they may die.  LIVE PLANTS are PERISHABLE, guaranteed not to live forever. US orders ONLY are GUARANTEED for LIVE ARRIVAL . All International orders are shipped at the BUYER's  RISK! From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from delivery confirmation to make any claim. All claims need to be supported with Photos of the damaged plant(s) as packed/unpacked, the box if damaged, the packing materials and any documents. I am very reasonable and understanding, anything can happen to small plants in transit, for this reason uninsurable. The expense to send it to you is most of your payment. To send any replacements, I try to piggy back with your next order. Replacement is not an option for CUSTOMS SEIZURE. ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S. - USDA and USPS fees  are included in the actual cost of shipping and Handling. Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any  reason really because I will block you from any further purchases.   Please contact me before eBay if you have any issue.

Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or  damaged during shipment will be replaced at seller's  expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All  other replacements, refunds, returns and exchanges will be  made at the sole discretion of the seller.   Seed is a live product which depends on many important related  grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type  of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed  controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and  reasonable weather conditions during the growing period.  Germination is affected by such factors as temperature,  moisture content, light intensity and contamination of  planting media. These factors are totally out of the  seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and  risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally  guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions  or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
