Im from sout india and Rambutan is pretty common here and if you're trying to grow em from their seeds its gonna take 6-8 years for em to fruit + there are male and female plants so male plants don't fruit they just flower and then falls off, so it would be better buying a grafted plant
I definitely agree. The goal for these aren’t really to make fruit. I’m more just finding entertainment growing unique plants with the seeds most people just throw away
@@TheMoreYouGrow good to see people like you are still around ❣️
I thought they would take a long time thank you so much for that input what's the coldest does it get in India
@@damienthorn4660 In INDIA the temperature drops well below freezing at some places , but if you're looking for an optimum temprature I'd say between 20°C- 35°C ( the temp at my place have dropped upto 12°C and i haven't seen any issues but if the temperature gets too hot the leaves are going to burn and fall off )❣️
Perhaps excellent advice.😊
You pronounced “rambutan” correctly! Rambutan literally means “hairy”. It’s derived from Indonesian word “rambut” which means hair.
Glad I came across your video. I was wondering if I can grow rambutan in Texas
They grew for awhile but ended up not liking my arid climate
@@TheMoreYouGrow Ha! That's what I was looking for...how did they grow. I live a wee bit west of Houston along the Buffalo Bayou, so I think I'll give them a try..at least until they outgrow my winter climate! :))
Just push down and out with your fingers along the seam to open. No knife needed. I'm so excited to pick some up next time I find them. I usually take a hard pass because they look so sad and old at the store here.
Thank you
7:02 ALl my plants are at my babcis house as she keeps her house around 70 - 80 degrees in winter. Meanwile its 20 F here and i have my . windows open :c my avacado plant had survived winters outside but not more then 2 :C
Little tip if its nice and ripe. Pinch the skin on the sides away from the stem and. Get a decent grip not too tight. When you feel a little slack inside twist and pull while pinching.
I am just lazy and prefer not to use a knife, and cleaning it after use.
Watching this while eating rambutan
Me too!
Same
Rambutan expensive in my opinion so going to try to grow it myself
Same
Same
I bought a rambutan and ate it, now i would want more
I tried one and I thought it tasted like a pear and a grape together 😂
If you've had Lychee, it's exactly the same.
Nice doge I will give more
Did eated ice apple furit
thank you farmer pewdiepie
Omg no you didn't🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bruh
I am crying LOL
Btw quick green thumb tip, all seeds last very very insanely long no matter the speceis it just takes longer for some if they are held dry for a long time students somewhere planted some seeds from thousands of years ago and they grew into very healthy plants and now there restoring a once extinct speceis of plant
...and many seeds have a very short period of viability for various reasons. :)
What seed would those be that were extinct? What did they bring back?
Always buy the rambutans when the skins are bright red, that's when they are fresh and riped. Open by biting them in half.
These were bright red when purchased, but got a bit busy before I could video 😅 never tried biting in half. Will have to try sometime!
The More You Grow Excited to see how the seedlings progress on your future videos.
Fresh ones should keep in the fridge. Open them like longans, bite them in half to break the skin.
Keep up the great work!
you could also pinch both ends and twist
You dont have to bite just use ur nails it will be fine.
Just sprouted mine in the plastic bag and now they've been planted in small seeding trays with soil. I'll keep you posted how they turn out.
Update? Also what soil did you use?
Update
You would have to wait for 6-8 years for em to fruit and if its a male plant just forget bout it ,its better buying a grafted plant
@@roguegaming6789 grafted is better but muchmore expensive and sometimes unattainable... so your comment isn't truefor everybody. Some trees from seed might fruit before the 6th year. Grow a dozen++ trees from seed and you'd be set. They're stronger plants from seed, too.
@@trolltracker At my place it ain't that expensive its like ₹400-500 almost 5-6 usd
Yeah plantng multiple seeds is a great idea but not every one's having the land for planting multiple no's
In my property there's like 8 Rambutan's planted from seed by my parent's like in 2014, still none of em have fruit or had flowered and they are in the exact tropical climate they usually thrive ,,that's why i said grafted or budded trees are good coz ihave Rambutan fruit on trees that was planted 3 yrs ago !
They are always in Asian markets if u want them and even when they are dark they taste better it taste like honey when extra ripe
To me rambutans taste like a coconut like grape
I only saw someone eating them on TV years ago and recently I finally found them at the supermarket. I took a chance and bought them and now i can't get enough! I really want to grow these in my apartment. They're my absolute favorite thing to eat now.
They will most likely not produce fruit but they are fun to grow nonetheless
Same here! I just tried one today. I’m a person who absolutely abhors fruit, I could never stomach a grape or apple. This fruit right here though, this one is my favorite!
It taste like coconut jelly to me just add sweet and sour to it. I love it
That's a good description.
You must have tasted bad rambutan here where I live they're all very sweet no sour taste to it
@@aldrineuri122 nope it was good and it tasted just as I describe. And I love it
Aldrin Euri yeah the ones I’ve had were always just sweet
Thanks for guiding us brother. You are also helping Earth by planting trees and sharing the wonderful work. Thanks for all brother 😊😊😊😊
Do you wash the seed before you pit it in a baggie? Do you leave the baggie outside? Inside? In the fridge?
The only place that sells them is walmart, here in florida, they taste good but I can't seem to seed them???, but thank you
heidi smith try the Asian markets They have them when in season.
It is in heb in texas they have some kinds of rare fruit.
Actually it's Rambutan like saying Rakuten that sounds like ur sayin' "Rack Coo Ten" but, w/ Rambutan it sounds like saying, "Ram Boo Tuhn". & It's actually a Malaysian fruit. In Mandarin, Chinese it's called "Rambutan { 红毛丹 } ( Hóngmáodān )".
Here is a "Quick "Did U Know?" Fact":
Did you know that, Rambutan is known as an exotic fruit native to Asia. In Malaysia and Thailand, Rambutan is industrially produced for juices, jams, marmalade, jellies, etc.
Now, did u know that, the Malayan fruit Rambuten is closely related to the lychee but, the differences b'tween "Rambutan" and "Lychee" are primarily visual: Outer skin: While both fruits have bumpy pinkish-red skin, Rambutan also has flexible, electric orange and green hairs, while Lychee does not. Another name for "Rambuten" is "Nephelium lappaceum".
I would like to share w/ u that, oftentimes people w/ diabetes b'lieve that the Rambuten fruit's too sweet to b included into their diet but, actually the fruits like Rambutan, offer various health benefits & relatively low sugar counts, especially when it's compared to other sweets or processed foods & May Rambuten protect against those w/ Diabetes? Yes! Actually, Rambutan may even increase insulin sensitivity & reduce fasting blood sugar levels & insulin resistance.
& Lastly, Did u know that, eating Rambutan containing phosphorus which, will help remove unwanted waste from ur kidneys. It also, plays an important role in the development, repair, rejuvenation & maintenance of tissues & body cells. Another ingredient, in the fruit's calcium, which gives one healthy & strong bones & teeth.
~ i hope these simple but, abit long facts, actually helped u & awnsered some, most &/or all, of ur questions that some or most of u, may have had!

Tried my first rambutan today very nice taste mild sweet taste. Thanks for the tip on planting will buy dome more & plant the seeds. So how can we differeniate the males from the female or do we wait 2 years to know its either or, or that its self polinating!
Philippines anyone
Cool
So typically theres a faater and easier way to eat them. Put your thumbnails together on edge and just pull apart the skin/rhine and half will come off easily and then just squeeze the other half to pop the other half in your mouth.
Hey thanks for the video 😃 I have a few plants now,they are 2/3 months old,but I am scared that they might not grow/die coz in my country to grow a rambutan plant-tree is so difficult.It’s believed that they only grow in some districts ☹️ can you give me some tips? And also an update about these rambutan plants of yours?
I hate to say that they are hard to grow. Mine ended up dying because the climate is to arid/not humid enough for them and could not keep their leaves from drying out
@@TheMoreYouGrow so sad☹️ do they need to stay humid all the time?

Ganyan din me ,tulungan t u
..... .... ....
I planted 2 seeds in my house in Mismi about 3 years ago, now they are about 15 ft tall and wonder when it will be bearing fruit
They bear fruit at around 7 years
@@sebastiann.8088 thanks very much for your reply
I started my seeds in 100% worm castings... I always save my worm dirt as I call it. Once I'm done fishing with my worms I use the worm dirt for my plants and also to start all my seeds... I just transplanted both my rambutan seeds in its own pots. Just remember keep your worm dirt from your fishing. Good fertilizer
It's a delicious fruit and we grow them in Panama.
I first tasted them in Panama when I was stationed there. So good. :)
Here in the Philippines we use our hand to open the skin
We squeeze on the rambutan
Same here at california gamit ko ang daliri the pisilin sa gitna pwede ng makakain ng rambutan no need a knife hahaha
Gumagamit ako ng kutsilyo kasi mahina ako dati kaya ko
Sounds painful
First time I I ate this fruit and it tastes so good would like to grow them
Eating Rambutan wondering if I could plant this seed. Was thinking it’s probably impossible in Texas then boom here come you
Definitely not easy. I couldn’t keep them happy with my north Texas climate
Sir,
I have planted a Rambutan from the seed. How many years does it take to give the fruit? Is there any male Rambutan tree or female Rambutan tree separately? Please reply me.
Maybe 5-10 years
It takes 2 to 3 years to give fruit
If it get sun light a lot you can expect for around 3 to 5 years but if it is covered by different trees, you will harvest in around 6 to 8 years.
It depends on a variety. Newer developed variety here in Philippines bears fruit after a year.
I read it took 3 years before the Rambutan plant grows. Is that true? Thank you and I love these fruits.
So glad I got to see this! I have just tried rambutan for the first time recently and was wondering what to do with the seeds, and if they would do well here outdoors in the ground. Guess they'll stay in pots. The potting mix I use is potting soil/peat/vermiculite/sand/manure. I've just received more rambutan and a couple of mangosteens! Now I'm gonna start sprouting those seeds! I still have the dragon fuit seeds but haven't started them yet, I got distracted with a moringa tree I got off of facebook marketplace. Then I found some at HEB for only $7! They had neem trees as well, so I got 2 of those. Oh and they had malabar spinach, so I got some of that and some really cool peppers I'd never seen before-yellow little beak, pretty in purple & one called fish. That fish pepper is one really cool plant. The leaves are variegated white and green, and the peppers go through several color changes, also striped, before ripe. I'd love send you some seeds if you'd like.
Sounds you have about as many plant project going on as I do 😂 and mangosteens?! Lucky! I’ve always wanted to try those but never have found them yet. Those pepper sound pretty awesome! Yeah I’d love some and I’ll grow them on the channel next spring. I got a few interesting seeds around too I’ll send ya when I can go get them

I had another great find at HEB Plus! I popped in to get something, and usually park and enter through the garden center. They were putting in a new display of fruit trees. $25 for 6'-7' tall apple, peach, nectarine and pear trees! I've already got 2 Asian pears so, I had to get a peach, nectarine and apple! If you have an HEB Plus nearby, check them out, I've found plants there that aren't anywhere else in my area and I live close to Home Depot, Lowe's, 2 Walmarts and a couple of nurseries.
David Deane I will have to check it out! Thanks for the tip!
You can't make this stuff up! I just scored a Moro blood orange and a Seto Satsuma mandarine, both @ 5' tall from that same HEB for $25! After a bit of research and talking to people about it, I don't want to wait until spring, I think planting then now would work if I provide adequate protection during the winter. I'm anxious to get them acclimated as soon as possible and I think if I build a box around each one for the winter, that would speed things up-even if it has to be done again next year. The real dilemna is the soil here is terrible, all clay. I've read that it's best to use your native soil and just mulch around it with leaves and such. I've been thinking about using the Miracle grow soil for outdoor use mixed with composted manure, peat and sand. What do you think about all this?
mangosteen is very slow
I've planted some, too. I hope they grow for us both.
I hope so too! Mine are doing pretty well so far!
@@TheMoreYouGrow here in Malaysia, rambutan are common tree. there are several types of rambutan and one of rambutan called rambutan anak sekolah or school child rambutan. This types of rambutan known for faster fruit producing and the color of the fruit is yellowish red
@daybird aviaries did yours survive the winter?
The scientific name for rambutan is nephelium lappaceum
I live 30 minutes from college station at the very beginning of the video when you said howdy I was like he's an Aggie then I saw the ring.. haha!
Gig 'em!!
Great job sharing what you know about Rambutan. You surely know your stuff, you've learned well. Thanks for the video and hope you're doing well and staying happy. 😄👍🌵Phil
Thanks Philip! They are on their way! Thanks for watching!
My Asian mom who cooks a lot of soup wondering why i have a Rambutan plant in her kitchen:
Ive eaten it at school my teacher said its dragon fruit but its rambutan and it was so good it was heaven
Rambutan is from Central America (in Costa Rica, theyre all over the streets) Lychee and Longon are from Southeast Asia
Rambutan is definitely native to Southeast Asia, more specifically Malaysia and Indonesia. Rambutan gets its name from the Malay word rambut meaning hair. Even though it is native to Southeast Asia it is now widely cultivated in many parts of the world including Central America. I envy you having them just growing all over the streets! 🤤 I would make myself sick lol. 😂
idk it got a sweet grape, lychee, got a texture like grape calamari, dont like how the skin of the seed peels with the fruit
They peel like a orange no knife needed this fruit is insainly delicious taste like citrus pear with aloe and grape very very good and packed with nutrient its a super food ....everyone should eat aloe wooooooooo
Right. Yeah I used a knife so it would come out looking nice because I have a habit of tearing things up 😂 it’s definitely delicious!
I just purchased a young Rambutan tree, and planted it on my land.....the leaves are all turning brown and crispy?? It maybe from too much sun? Should I cut off all the leaves, and transplant it back to a pot and put under partial shade to revive this tree? Thank you
Yeah they didn’t survive when I moved back to Bowie Texas either. Too dry, not enough humidity for them. Would survive best in a greenhouse.
Looked for updates on Instagram but didn't see any :-( What happened with your rambutans?
They were not a fan of my low humidity arid climate 😔
Hi, is there's any way to know if the seeds will produce fruits. I read that the seeds produced 85% of males trees.
No real way of telling as far as I know until the tree flowers
I'm sorry to say but most rambutan that you buy will not sprout true. Most rambutan fruit that is bought, comes from trees that are cuttings that has been grafted on a root stock. Most likely the fruit from those seeds will be green with red hairs and taste not so sweet and more sour with a bit of vegetable taste. It may work out for you and I wish you good luck. It will take you 3-5 years to see the first fruits and another 3-5 years to be fully productive.
My paternal grandfather(lives at grassy marshland) has a rambutan tree that is quite young(most likely grown from seeds). The fruits never ripen to a deep red, just green and red splotches with red hairs.
My maternal grandfather(lives in mountainous deep rainforest) has wild rambutan that fruits reds and yellows but the seeds from these trees aren't viable.
Oh yes I’m aware. These projects are more so just for fun projects more so that for production expectations. I appreciate this cool info though!
I usually just peel them like an orange
Thank you ✨🙏 Very informative 😊
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I am staying gin Dar es Salaam in East Africa will this fruit growb
Thank you so much your the best teacher and cannot wait to plant our seeds today.
You don't need a tool, just squeeze alongside the seem and it will pop out
From a Malay word..Rambut which means Hair...
0:15 Lol
Mine have never sprouted. Bought the fruit from the market. Maybe they we're eradiated.
Just curious. How are the ones you planted today? Are they still growing?
I hate to say but they didn’t end up making it. My climate is just too arid and couldn’t keep enough humidity
The More You Grow Try a greenhouse
Its pronounced RUM-BOO- TUN
What do they look like when they are first growing out? I ask because my grandpa planted some but since this fruit is new to him he wasn't sure.
Here’s the link to my Instagram of the seedlings whenever they were first coming up instagram.com/p/Bn9STXPABt2/?igshid=gao3ghkmg8em
Thanks for the video, just got these from a Costco in San Diego. Taste like grape and coconut, and the skin of the seed might add a little almond. Thought about playing them but it's hot and dry here so I won't bother.
How do you play them? Asking for a friend.
Thanks man, exactly the video I was looking for!
Central America has them growing everywhere
The fruit looks like covid Haha
How’s the rambutan trees doing?
Do you still have your rambutan trees ? I would like to see an update on this video
I do not unfortunately.
The tree is at his house.Now I am trying to grow it.
After keeping the seeds in a ziploc bag where did you put it?
In the window or somewhere kinda warm.
Next time you should store them in the refrigerator it stay fresh for me like a month
Right, I normally would to keep them fresher longer for eating, but was concerned that the refrigeration would affect the seed germination success, so just enjoyed them quick 😅😂
Looks like Litchy
Not really but the fruit does
I plan to keep a mister on mine and build a small greenhouse special for my rambutan tress. Ill put a heater in it when it gets cold.
Im in Austin and my neighbor has the biggest banana trees I've ever seen.
I started eating rambutan living in Hawaii so maybe I'll be able to make them happy
Hemesh
Ants, there will be a lots of ants.
My seed are sprouted and I had put soil. Should I cove it. Should I give water daily
that accent is legendary. i found a bunch at my H.E.B and was like "its free real estate"
Lmao same
Yes! Love the accent.
Thank you for sharing!!
Are you an amish floridian? You sound southern or something but look like the guy making the good pretzels...
From Miami, Florida…thank you for your tips and great videos!!!!🤙🏼🤣
What growing zone are you in?
rambutan tree up to 8 meters high. rambutan trees planted from seeds there are male trees and female trees. Male trees do not bear fruit. lucky to have a female tree can produce fruit. 😊😊
Two questions:
1: how are rambutans now?
2: can ya grow quenepa (spanish lime) next?
The rambutan did not like my arid climate unfortunately. I would LOVE to be able to grow quenepa! Not sure how to get hold of them where I live but if I could I’d definitely try to grow it!
You could just bite them too
Rambutans grow in my country Ghana, I just found out to grow them you must have two plants, a male and a female plant before it fruits and it's not very easy to grow
Thank u for explanation.yesterday I bought this fruit. I'm going to plant after three days
Looks. and tastes a lot like a fresh Lychee! I heard these won't have fruit though for 8-12 years. Have you had any luck!
Could i grow it from a seed in florida? Or is it a whole tree? I cant grow a tree in my room lol
Possibly! but it would take 8+ years and you would have to have a male and female tree. The best way to go would be to have a grafted tree
@@TheMoreYouGrow okay! I will look up what a grafted tree is and look into that, i rlly like these fruits so much. Thank u!!
Those are so hard to find because I’m from Utah and they don’t ship very often.
I’m trying to find them at them at the Asian markets
malaysian indosian people call rambutan which mean hairy fruit hair=rambut.you can call is hairy fruit
Why was there no update on this video regarding the growing seeds???
Rebecca James there was an update Instagram shortly after this video instagram.com/p/Bn9STXPABt2/?igshid=16m3pg81wg71e
But long term update is they ended up not surviving. They were growing great, but could not replicate the conditions they needed in my climate (too hot and dry) . Rambutan are notoriously hard to grow in containers so i knee it was a uphill battle but that’s all part of the adventure!
@@TheMoreYouGrow Thank you for your prompt reply.
Sorry to hear they didn't make it.
I was going to try to plant them myself.
You saved me the effort!🙂
You can open it by just pressing it with both of your hands. Eat it when it is bright or dark red, that’s when it is ripe and sweet. If it’s still bright green wait for a few days then it will ripen.
hair designer here,,,,,speechless
Thanks! Glad that’s what you got out of the video 👍
eating rambutan atm
I use my fingernail to peel it.
Actually I found out that you can squeeze it on either side of the seam and it busts open without a mess.
How about Florida well water?
Should be fine I would think unless it’s super alkaline or acidic
Gia
Ive only had them once at a cultural food night thing at my sisters school and I LOVE THEM I WANT MORE
Will it grow in could country
They are very tropical so not good for cold weather
Can it grow in Los Angeles
Probably better than they will here! Just as long as it stays above 50° F
Mine started to mildew after they had tiny sprouts. Any advice how to keep the mildew off. The paper towel either dries out or mildews
They are probably not getting enough warmth. Might look into a seed starting mat. I put the paper towel in a ziplock baggie too to keep it from drying out
@@TheMoreYouGrow that's what caused the mold. Yes it's winter. Someone suggested adding cinnamon
@@drewsquickfix I would probably wait until spring/summer because you will struggle to keep them alive in the winter even indoors. I’m sure you have but be sure to rinse the seeds before going into the paper towel to avoid any mold from the remnant fruit/sugar
@@TheMoreYouGrow thanks
Do a video on growing papaya trees from seed
dear sir, do u happen to know how to plant vanilla bean from seed?
not cutting, but seed.
I have not tried it. Orchids can be tricky but I might look into seeing what can be done 😁
Have just been gifted some and searching how to seed start them best brought me here. Do you have an update video? What percentage made it past one year?
I posted the plants on Instagram but wasn’t able to make a devoted video. None made it for me but that was because of my climate. I kept them warm enough but my climate is too arid. This cause their leaves to dry out too fast. If I could have given them more humidity I think they would’ve made it
