For Trade: Rambutan Seeds

[dongeorgio]

I have maybe 20 or 30 rambutan seeds.  If anyone wants to trade, just let me know.

George - have you had success germinating them?  I had 0 take on the rambutan fruit I bought I here, but got about 75% take on the Lychee.  Not sure what good that will do me anyway, since growing lychee from seed seems like a futile exercise.

[dongeorgio]

My germination rate is about 50% although I am pretty sure I will have a better chance at growing a tail than getting rambutan to fruit over here

All gone

As a rule of thumb if you are trying to figure if you are too cool to grow rambutans there seems to be a few threshold temps. They can only handle morning minimums down to 3c briefly. You really need at least 7 months where the average monthly temps are at least 22c for fruit development (using the simple average of max and min for the month is good enough).Small leafed types like R9 and rongrien handle storms/wind best and frequently flushing types like R134 do better near the margins of tolerances.
