Tropical Fruit Discussion / Longkong or Duku or Duku-Langsat or Langsat

« on: September 11, 2014, 09:30:00 PM »

Hello,

Some years ago, I bought seeds from Longkong from Thailand,
Can someone confirm if are really Longkong by the pictures ?
At the time I received this email the seller :
Dear Ricardo,
We can provide the seed to you but I have to consider the risk to reward ratio. Their are 0-5 seeds/kg. of fruit and they are difficult to clean.
He said, maybe no have one only seed in a fruit kilo
