Scientific Name: Nephelium lappaceum
Common Name: Hairy Lychee
Climate and soil requirement
The Rambutan prefers tropical, humid region with well distributed rainfall. It flourishes from sea level to 1800 ft (500-600m) altitude. The tree does best on deep, clay-loam or rich in organic matter and requires good drainage.
Land preparation
It is recommended that the trees be planted at least 33ft (10-12 m) apart from each other. If trees are set too close they will become overcrowded and production of fruits will be seriously affected. Apply NPK (12-24-12) fertilizer 1KG per tree. Immediately after harvest give 1KG of Ammonium Sulphate near the end of rainy season to each tree.
