Well, I guess it's time for an update. It's been awhile. My quest to see if growing rambutan in North Texas is possible continues...
Yes, it can be done, well for seedling anyway. Out of the twenty seed that I try to germinate.Only three survive, why three??? I figure in my eagnerest, I put out the seedling tray in the super hot 3 months of 100+ degree with humidity average around 30%.
Bad idea, but I was just testing the limit of it. Rambutan grown from seed are not ideal. You never know if it's a male, female or hemaphrodite.
Ok back to the three survivor. All three are about six inches tall now.
I'm trying to figure out why the leaves on one is drying up, sample r1. Could it be that I'm not watering enough? Is the soil not acidic enough?
Sample r2, I'm using tea water to water it to see if it help. Not compost tea, but the regular tea you would drink yourself. I'm using the Lipton tea bag, one bag last me about a week.
I'll update with more better picture next time, when I have more time to better format this.
