Hi,
Right now Kepel fruit is not ripe yet,it will be ripe about 1.5-2 months.

On some trees here the fruit is very pale beige/tan compared to those deep brown ones you have.Selections from Java came in the 1970's and the biggest trees would be no thicker than your one in the trunk.Maryoto you will have to eat a bunch and report back if you suddenly smell like roses.I ate a bunch of them and they didn't seem to work that way.

Mike , I ate about 20 plus fruits a few years ago ...didn't work....

Yeah, my friends that ate boat loads all said it didnt work, the room definately didnt smell like flowers.

Hi guys, where did you get this information that eat the fruit then you will be issued a smell like flowers?
But here if people eat this fruit then breath and sweat smell is fragrant.
But it does not smell of flowers and strong smells like perfume.
I do not know why it does not happen at your place.
Maybe you need to try Kepel fruit that is planted in Yogyakarta to compare it.

By eating this fruit, sweat and your breath does smell nice.
But that's just a little fragrance, and not permanent.
It's not strong smells like perfume.

Thanks

That's a great picture of a Kepel tree fruiting. Thank you for posting, I did not know that Kepel fruit even existed. Now that I know of its existence, I would love to see a Post, on this Forum, mention about a Kepel fruit tree (variety) that produces quality, sweet tasting fruit.

Are there different varieties of Kepel fruit trees?

No, there is only one variety of Kepel tree.
The image is Kepel fruits that is immature and still young fruits, the fruit will ripen around the end of February-at the beginning of maret.

Maybe if planted in different places, there is little difference in taste of the fruit.

Nice photo ! Good !!
Kepel is a wonderful fruit trees.
I'm attracted to it. However, it is not possible it is difficult to get a seed
if you are selling the Kepel seeds later, I want to buy seed.

Thanks,
I would have Kepel seeds from Yogyakarta in March.
I would sell the seeds when I already have it, there will be discounts and special rates for wholesale buyers.
Contact me at the beginning of March.

The park tree that I have been keeping an eye on looks like a twin of the one maryoto posted with fruit at the same stage of development.ETR mid to late Feb.

Maybe there is another variety in Australia? It is strange that the one that you ate doesn't make you smell like violets while many websites mention that property.

Also i think it is strange that this tree is unknown in Thailand but there sure will be a reason for that.

I also think the same as you, there may be other varieties of Kepel fruit that is not known.
But Kepel from Yogyakarta really make smell like violets.
But I make sure that the scent was just a little and not strong, it also does not smell permanently.

That is great because the fruit also makes the women infertile for a while and it wouldn't be a nice fruit if they stay infertile forever 

[Mike T]

Some people here have reported the fruit having the good smell effect here  I don't know where in Java the original selections came from to be brought here.

Well,the fruit used by Javanese Princesses as contraception.

I think originally from Yogyakarta, because formerly Kepel fruit only can be found in the kingdom of Yogyakarta,then the fruits spread everywhere.
