Sorry Oscar,I wasn't so clear. I was saying the same thing, that it is not nephelium longana (which is Longan) or nephelium ramboutan-ake, which is bulala I think. Both links I found that refer to this species from India refer to one of those names, and I was saying that they were not. Either way, great find Roy!
It is called "Tadal" in the dialect spoken by Adi tribe of Arunachal pradesh. It is only found in wild.It is Nephelium sp.It is not Longan(Longan is also available in wild in Arunachal Pradesh)It is 2 inches long.When ripe, it is red.The taste is sweet.When unripe,it is green and the flesh is sour in taste.This is not tropical fruit and the region where it grows is subtropical to temperate.Thanks for responseRoy
Im glad I got in early then 😁. Though they list it as Nephelium Lappaceum, given the distance and difference in climate Id suggest it is quite a different genotype than the one from the borneo rainforests. Really looking forward to trying to grow it. P.s. Im still keen on the Prunus sp and actinidia sp too.
