It’s one of the only fruits I would pay one dollar for. But this time of year I buy all I can eat! I love it when I’m in the Republic of Georgia. They grow wild over there 😋

I wish I could eat these still. 🥹

I’m lucky enough to have a pomegranate tree of my own! But also unlucky enough to have deer that eat it _all the f-ing time_.

We get plenty of pomegranates on our plants but no rambutans here.

Pomegranate is indeed delicious, and lucky for me SoCal is rife with Orchards of ’em. Hell, you can even find them on embankments or sidewalk planters.
If you want to experience a similar mouthfeel, consider trying Finger Limes. Although you’ll run into the same issue, that they’re somewhat uncommon (Outside of Australia) and slightly more complicated to care for.

Dude. Gardening isn’t free. After 4 years of gardening..i probably spent thousands of dollars over a few hundred dollars worth of produce

i imagine that if pomegranates grows, then perhaps rambutans could grow too.

Lived in a back house next to a smaller back house and we had a shared pomegrante tree in the yard. I’m persian and grew up eating them, but my neighbors did not. I would pull them off the tree, seperate all the arils, and hand each neighbor massive baggies of them. Theyre so expensive. It seemed a shame to let them go to waste.
Ever since then, I’ve wanted one. We just finished a backyard project and somehow the perfect spot for a pomegrante tree has presented itself.
Pomegranate and rambutan. Pomegranate will grow pretty much any where, Rambutan is a bit harder but likes temperate to tropical climates.

I have three rambutan trees around my house. When they’re in season, they go absolutely wild with fruit. I probably manage to eat about 1% of it over the entire season; the rest either rots on the ground or gets claimed by monkeys.
And now the monkeys have become a full-blown menace. The moment the fruit appears, so do they. They don’t just come to eat, either. These little villains arrive with a complete destruction plan: uprooting my young plants, mutilating fresh shoots, tearing at my roof, and occasionally invading my house to conduct what can only be described as a home ransacking operation.
It’s a nightmare. I would gladly get rid of the trees, but doing so would instantly turn me into public enemy number one in the neighborhood.

I’m waiting to see if anyone harvests the ones that grow by a nearby station. Still a couple of months before they ripen.
