Where can I find good Maprang or Mayongchid in Florida?
I don't see anyone offering a Mayongchid.
Is the Mayongchid sweeter and larger than the Maprang.

Don't think you can find it in Florida. Not grown there, also not imported there. I have them growing here in Hawaii. Got a good harvest this year, but don't sell the fruits. Eat them all myself  :D and sell the seeds.
Mayong chid is a type of maprang. I have 3 types. Mayong Chid is sweet-sour. Have a type called Kai that is sweet, with a little bit of sour. Also have a seedling tree that is totally sweet.

Top is Mayong Chid and bottom is seedling type.

Maprang is possible in Florida I have two one month old seedlings from locally grown fruit here in Bokeelia SW Florida.
Fruit was about this size from Mike:

How long do these take to fruit from seed?  I have a seedling in my greenhouse.

About 8 years. But not dependable from seed. Some seedlings fruit and others don't. I have one seedling tree produced 2 fruits after 20 years. The other is about 8 years old and good producer. Better to have grafted trees if at all possible.

Mike,
Is that Small fruited Maprang in Cairns botanic garden??

Is there any flavour difference in Mayongchid and Wan except for sweetness?
