Among the tropical fruit trees that have recalcitrant seeds are durian, rambutan and mango.
Expert fruit tree climbers are so in demand that even male teachers offer their expertise to climb and pick rambutans and langsat during off-days.
Although apomixis may occur in some cultivars, rambutan, like lychee, is dependent upon insects for pollination.
Other popular tropical fruits include mangosteen, jackfruit, longan, lychee, rambutan, and pineapple.
Especially with easily infected tropical fruit such as lychees and rambutans, seed washing with high temperature water is vital.
The most important agricultural sector is rambutan production, which covered 4.25 km with a production capacity of 2,400 tons per year.
The flesh is very sweet and juicy, and separates easily from the seed, much more easily than the rambutan.
The flavour is generally much sweeter than that of the rambutan.
