When does it bear, and how much?
A registered tree variety is described from its mother tree, not from trial plots. The mother tree of JMG 5W was about 15 years old and about 7 meters tall when it was registered. It bears every year, with fruit in July September. A grafted or marcotted tree bears years sooner than one grown from seed, and its yield climbs as the tree grows.

Where and when to plant JMG 5W rambutan
Pick a registered selection whose flesh comes off the seed cleanly, which buyers pay more for. Plant budded trees. A registered tree variety is a selection from one proven mother tree, and only grafted, budded or marcotted plants carry its traits. A seedling grown from its seed can turn out quite different. So buy from a nursery accredited by the Bureau of Plant Industry, and ask which mother tree the scions came from. Before planting, get the field ready with our guide: Pagtatanim ng puno.
