Baccaurea angulata
(In Chinese it is called 单贝果)
Elsewhere, this fruit is also called as Embaling (Sabah), Embaling bobou (Brunei) and Asem ketiak,
pidau (Kalimantan).
Belimbing Merah derived its name from the color and shape of the fruit. In translation, it is
called the red star fruit. It is also called the red raspberry. Belimbing Merah is not found in West Malaysia and is definitely a
Borneo fruit. It is found also in Sabah, the northern part of Borneo island.
The whitish content of the fruit is the same color and taste as the rambai fruit.
The taste is pleasant. This fruit has a lot of market potential as an exotic commodity but is still quite rare in
the rest of the world outside of the Borneo rainforest.
The Belimbing Merah is not only productive, it is also relatively fast growing. The amazing fruits
are split to reveal several seeds nested in the clear to whitish flesh.
|
Vigorously growing Baccaurea angulata is also close relative of the Starfruit (Averrhoa
carambola). Some may called it Red Angle Starfruit.
Absolutely gorgeous, that is the only way to describe a Belimbing Merah tree laden with fruit.
Literally thousands may develop on a single tree and the trunk and main branches of this cauliflorous species can be so heavily loaded
that they look red from a distance.
All the tampoi fruits are indigenous to the land of Borneo and all are propagated from seeds.
Though taste like mangosteen except they are more sour and the pulp not as fleshy, they belong to different family. Mangosteen belongs to the
family of Clusiaceae and Tampoi belongs to the family of Euphorbiaceae.
No wonder why it is called Belimbing Merah which means red star fruits. It is more like a tampoi than a star fruit. A star fruit has no thick
skin or rind for example whilst all tampoi fruits have thick rind with pulp inside. Its tree is medium-sized with a straight trunk of height
about 10 m or taller.
When the tree is heavily laden with fruits all over its trunk, it is really a spectacular sight to behold. The young
maroon-colored fruits turn bright red when getting ripened, then the whole tree looks like it is on fire.

Each angular fruit is about 6 cm long and 3 cm wide with angular and attractive bright red skin with a tapering
end.Its fleshy skin can be squeezed open by hands to reveal a white pearly pulp with three segments looking very much like rambai fruit pulp. Each
segment is covered with a thin membrane.
Comparing to rambai which tastes plain sour,the red angular tampoi fruit is more popular because of its sourish-sweet to total sweet taste. It is also
very juicy and after being chilled, is an excellent thirst quencher. The juice which can be made into a cordial has great commercial potential.
|
The Baccaurea angulata fruits have a tangy taste, both the aril and the skin. A seasonal fruit which is often
seen from November to January, sold by roadside sellers and in Borneo fruit and veggie markets. The skin can be dried in the sun after you have eaten the
fruit. The skin is used as asam keping for flavoring fish soup. Indonesians fry ikan bilis (fish) with the sliced dried skins and lots of onions.
Tastes really good! This is the red tampoi belimbing and is found growing wild and in abundance in the second division of Sarawak. Often called buah ujong
or buah geruming by the local Ibans. A nice end of the fruit season fruit, Baccaurea angulata appears at the same time as the rambai.
The fruit is sweet but is not so fleshy. Baccaurea angulata makes a nice decoration on the table especially if you can find the really red ones like these.
|
The fruit is ellipsoidal or ovoid, 2 to 3 1/8 inch (5-8 cm) long, 1 1/2 to 2 3/8 inch (4-6 cm) wide; orange-yellow;
clasped at the base by 3 large, green, leaf like bracts, toothed and edged with conspicuous glands.
The rind is leathery, to 1/8 in (3 mm) thick, white and spongy within; becomes hard when dry. Pleasantly rose-scented,
the translucent, nearly white pulp is juicy, mucilaginous and of agreeable, subacid flavor, and encloses numerous seeds, flat and minutely ribbed.
The thick and fleshy skin is also edible. Its sour taste makes it a great choice for pickles and jam making. The fruits and cut skin can be kept in the freezer.
|
|
Ripe Baccaurea angulata are either in
red or pinkish. When in season, Baccaurea angulata is a very prolific fruit tree. The plentiful fruits are borne from the trunk and branches. Baccaurea angulata may reach 8 m tall, profusely branched.
Flowers (yellow) and fruits (red) are colorful and may be planted as an ornamental.
Fruits are angular and inside is white, juicy, sweet-sour edible pulp.

Payment
We accept online
payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only
acceptable for in-person payments and cash-on-delivery
(COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING
RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are
NOT eligible for any discount.
We will ship once a
week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the special
stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This
can only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If
payments are not met before that MONDAY, your items will be
shipped the following week and lose the combined discount
opportunity. Non-paying bidders may receive negative
feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to eBay.
COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
is not included in this offer.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON
LIVE PLANTS on a case by case basis.
We will combine shipping
for auctions won on the same week paid with same PayPal
payment.
This policy is good
for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending
MONDAY.
We ship on Tuesdays.
Payment must be
received within 4 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning
auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
For 4-7 winning
auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
For 7+ winning
auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
As
each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it
does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional items)
My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied
selection. Domestic S/H includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for
prompt delivery. I can't really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount
much as each different species requires it's own prep, packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected
then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on
the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, 2-3 days to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day
we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes
the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

Before you purchase |
After you Receive
your Items. |
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it. It is your responsibility to know how to care
for the plant. Do some research before they arrive or seek experienced help.
Small plants need protection from many things, wind, sun, dry-out. They do well just in the garage or living
room. They need good light but not sunlight (full sun will burn small plants). Small pots dry-out easily. Just sitting in a shallow tray of water works
well. The idea is to keep the plants from dehydrating.
Be careful if you decide to re-pot.
Re-potting voids any warranty. Plants are easily damaged with new/different mix. Use NO fertilizers (this may kill your plants).
Proper care is critical upon arrival.
Live Plants are NOT GUARANTEED
to survive under your care. DO NOT expect any live plant to be GUARANTEED to remain alive. Plants are NOT GUARANTEED TO SURVIVE after you begin Care! Live arrival is guaranteed,
eternal survival is up to you.
IF YOU are NOT able to provide PROPER CARE, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT plant to be GUARANTEED after it perishes.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.
Please Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged. If you repot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered. All
photos must be as arrived in original condition as received (in the box and packed as delivered).
If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.
Not every plant that I grow survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there is no way to know what kind
of conditions it will endure in the trip to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered to your door.
You are agreeing to these terms when you make this purchase from this listing.

There is the risk when you grow plants that they may die.

I am very reasonable and understanding, anything can happen to small plants in transit, for this reason uninsurable.
The expense to send it to you is most of your payment. To send any replacements, I try to piggy back with your next order.

Rare Seeds
Fresh Highest
Quality
When you receive your seeds, you have only 7 days to make any claim. Once planted, seeds can NOT be returned
and no refund is offered. All seed sales are final. There are no germination guarantees.
Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised. Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be
replaced at seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements, refunds, returns and exchanges will be
made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper
planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and
reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and
contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Consequentially,
the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes..
