Rambai – The Tropical Delight

Rambai (Baccaurea motleyana) is a tropical fruit tree native to Southeast Asia, known for its sweet, mildly tangy, and juicy fruits. The small, round, yellow to reddish fruits grow in clusters and have a soft, translucent pulp with a refreshing flavor. Rambai trees are fast-growing and highly productive, making them an excellent choice for home gardens and tropical orchards.
