Mahachanok grows a lot more elongated than those on the second tree in my climate. Kinda hard to see shape of the fruit on the first tree but it does look closer.

Apparently one is monoembryonic while the other is poly. That might be a starting point. I'm guessing Maha Chanok and Rainbow are not synonyms after all.

mangostein, what do you mean by poly? meaning the tree produce two different type of fruits?

The one from Plantogram looks like the Maha Chanok I have. Here in SoCal, the MC can be shorter and less curved. I have one Maha Chanok tree that produces fruit that are short and less curved and the more typical longer curved Fruit. I’ve posted pictures on this forum somewhere.

Here’s a pic of a regular one off the same tree that produces the short stubby ones. This one has the curve at the end.

The top tropical one looks right. The other looks like it might be sia tong or some similar variety.
