i also dont have durian tree since it will become a very big tree after years.and i dont like a big tree...
nowadays mangosteen is very popular here, since the research claim that the rind of this fruit   can cure cancer (contain xanthones - an antioxidant and antiaging) . and iam still searching for the best cultivar seed


but i have 4 variety of wax apple (we call it jambu air): jambu citra ( a good cultivar from indonesia, big size and very sweet), jambu kancing merah (small wax apple/red button wax apple), jambu air putih (white wax apple), dan jambu air lilin hijau (green wax apple)

but right now iam hunting the seed of a very rare indonesia white small wax apple named nasi-nasi...

just posting an article about kepel, translating by google translate

=======================

Kepel, that's the name for the fruit called latin Stelechocarpus burahol this.  The name was given because of the size of the fruit is brown and round it's just an adult fist.  In addition to Kepel, the fruit is also known by the name burahol.

 Kepel Fruit is quite attractive.  Unlike the usual fruit attached to the branches and twigs, fruit Kepel spreading it around the main stem of trees which reach a diameter of 40 cm.  Kepel including rare plants in Indonesia.

This tree was formerly known as the nobility crop because only the people of the court and nobility are allowed to grow.

 The fruit is useful to maintain the beauty of the princess of Mataram kingdom (old java kingdom).  Only by eating the ripe fruit , the princess sweat and breath .  just Like to use a natural deodorant.

Ripe fruit with black seeds contained in it can be eaten fresh.  Orange-colored flesh and give smell like roses mixed with sapodilla fruit.  Due to the strong smell of scent was still able to feel the aroma in the excretion of body systems such as urine, sweat, and breath.

 In medicine, the fruit serves as a laxative urine, preventing inflammation of the kidneys and cause infertility (temporary) in women.  The wood is suitable for home furnishings; a straight trunk a few months after immersion in water, used for house building materials and the reported resistance of more than 50 years.

 Kepel is an ornamental plant with beautiful trees.  The leaves that appear at once changed from pale pink to red to purple before it turns again into a brilliant green.  Stature tree or pyramid-shaped cylindrical with many lateral branches are arranged systematically, and its kauliflor (cauliflory) add to its beauty.

 Unfortunately, trees are unique and interesting this is now rare here in java island.  Not easy to find this Kepel plants in other areas.

Ah ha.....I just welcomed you in the introduction thread and you've answered one of my questions here.  Thanks.  Now, more information please.  Two of these culitvars of mango are  new to me.  Numdhocmai has been spelled here as Nam Doc Mai and Chau Ka Nan has been spelled (mis-spelled many ways here....when I first heard of this culitvar from Thailand, it was spelled Chou Anon.  Since then, I have seen Choc Anon and Choc Arnon.  No matter, as long as we know what we are talking about.  The transliteration from Thai to English or other languages is imperfect.  In any case, I have never heard of Nirvana or Khio Jay and would very much appreciate a description of the fruit from an eating quality stand point.  Also, pictures of the interior of the mangoes when you have the opportunity.  Thanks in advance.

dont too worry about the name...i think we can call it namdokmai, num dhok mai, or num dok mai ..khio jay is very famous in indonesia,actually it is a thailand cultivar. khiojay mango weight can achieve 2 kg each. its a big manggo fruit and just like other thailand mango cultivar, its sweet when ripe or even when not ripe enough,and also fiberless
