Rambutan

That's nice.These trees are not from our house. It is from my grandfather's house. We have a plant infront of our house. But they haven't yet started to fruit.

my father has planted these trees in our backyard :)

Yes Seema, Rumbutan's grow well in Kerala. There are a lot of orchards in Pathanamthitta district, Kerala.

do these fruits grow in Kerala?

Hi annorion, It tastes like lychee. And if you haven't tasted lychee, I would say its a bit chewy and very sweet when ripe. But as Leana Lahom-Cristobal said, it is sweet and sour when not fully ripe. It is a really tasty fruit. But I have heard that there are many people who doesn't like its taste. And I have no idea why. Hope you will get to try it once.

The flesh that is exposed when the outer skin is peeled is sweet/sour and a little gummy. It tastes good annorion. The fruit is in season now even in the PHilippines.

they're sweet

They kind of look like fuzzy strawberries. I'm curious...what do they taste like?
