Got some more seeds but this is the last of them.
In typical Thai style they unfortunately butchered the tree to get the fruit (mind you tree is about 40 foot) so will not be fruit for TWO YEAR
$2.50 per seed plus $5 postage which includes tracking number.
PM with orders.
Very rare seeds, great fruit like a cross between a lychee and rambutan. Extremely sweet and very similar in appearance to lychee but more oblong in shape.
Family: Sapindaceae
Synonyms: Nephelium cochinchinense, Nephelium longana var. hypoleuca
