The Yellow Santol fruits are sweet apple sized yellowish fruits are large with a thick velvety rind.
You are bidding on small live starter plant seedlings with vigorous root systems 6-12 inches tall with several leaves born and growing in a small container for ease of transplant.
Santol is a fast-growing, straight-trunk, pale-barked tree from 50 to 150 feet tall. The fruits can have a sweet or sour flavor.
There are two main types of Santol, the yellow and the red. The yellow variety has thinner rind, sweeter flesh and the old leaflets turn yellow before falling. These are the Yellow Fruit cultivar.
The fruits of the yellow variety are sweet and the leaves turn yellow when old. The apple sized yellowish fruits are large, round and rough on the outside with a thick textured skin.
The Yellow Santol fruits are sweet apple sized yellowish fruits are large with a thick velvety rind.
In the red variety, the underside of the leaves turn red when old, the leaves themselves are velvety underneath,
and the fruit has a thicker rind, less pulp, and is typically sour.
The leaflets of the red variety are velvety underneath and turn red before falling and the fruits have a thick rind
with sour flesh surrounding the seeds. Leaves are arranged in leaflets of three.
Santol is commonly cultivated throughout India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and many Pacific Islands and the fruits are abundant in the local markets.
Called the "Lolly Fruit" because you have to suck it to get the flavor, as the very tasty flesh sticks to the seed.
Inside the flesh is segmented around the 3-5 seeds with juicy, translucent pulp.
The fruit is usually consumed raw without peeling. In India, it is eaten with spices.
I am convinced that Wrigley's gum got the Juicy Fruit flavor from the Santol; they taste identical.
Santol's are tropical but can stand brief periods of frost.
Santol fruits are called the 'Lolly Fruit' because you have to suck it to get the flavor, as the very tasty flesh sticks to the 3-5 seeds.
Santol's are tropical but can stand brief periods of frost. Young plants are less cold hardy. Protect from temperatures below 32F.
Eaten fresh, often without peeling as the rind is edible. Fruits are also candied as well prepared into alcoholic beverages.
The fruit ripens in Malaysia in June and July; in Florida, August and September; in Hawaii, from July to October.

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.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.
After you Receive your Items
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 DO NOT PROVIDE PROPER CARE, Please DON'T EXPECT plant to be GUARANTEED after it perishes.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE RE-POTTED THE PLANT.
Please Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged.
If you re-pot 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).
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.

From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from delivery confirmation to make any claim.

Rare Seeds
Fresh Highest Quality
Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised. 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.
