New ID from Fiji Islands
« on: January 10, 2018, 05:36:01 AM »
Just got that one from a guy at the local market. He said to me he brought back the seeds from Fiji and it is a fruit tree? It is definitely not a matoa ( fijian longan ) but I just can't put an id on it . Any help and comments welcome.

After close check with other lansium domesticum I have planted, I can confirm it is not.

Bula,

This looks like Tarawau (Dracontomelon vitiense).
