lamut sida - madhuca esculenta

[bangkok]

I bought this fruittree today but can't find any info except pictures. The vendor told me it is sweet and that's all i could understand of what he said.

Does anybody know it? Toptropicals also has it on their website but no info about it.

the name is lamut sida  or madhuca esculenta.

Wise purchase for your 100 acre orchard...and using TT as any type of reference reiterates,  well, what i have been saying all along...

Toptropicals seems to have had this tree so i guess it must be a nice fruit.

Looks like the most popular of this genus is Madhuca longifolia aka Madhuca indica, which is grown for its oleaginous seeds. The fat (solid at ambient temperature) is used for the care of the skin, to manufacture soap, or detergents, and as a vegetable butter. It can also be used as a fuel oil.

I see, well if my tree has those properties then my wife will like it. I also have the yellow roseapple which can produce real rosewater which smells great so she can make soap or skincreme or so.

But the fact that i saw it on the toptropical website makes me wonder what it is. If it was a great fruit then it would be in every treeshop here and on the markets but also my wife doesn't know it. I will ask her to google it in thai language, maybe then i get more info.

Lamut is sapodilla in Thailand but i don't know what si da means." si" means color but "da" i don't know yet. Red is "daeng" but they call it "da".
