~Marang~

Artocarpus odoratissimus

aka: Johey Oak, Green Pedalai, Madang, Terap, Timadang

Native to Borneo

MARANG not only sounds exotic but looks and tastes like VANILLA ICE CREAM.

Marang is found growing naturally in Sarawak and Borneo (Kalimantan). 

Cultivated as well as growing wild in the Philippines, Marang is uncommonly cultivated in Hawaii.

    

Marang, like the breadfruit, is a tree, which can grow up to 25 m tall and have a 40 cm diameter trunk with low buttresses. 

Marang leaves are oval-shaped, large, and rough like sandpaper.

    

Marang fruit is studded with short, soft, greenish yellow spines. When ripe, it produces a strong, penetrating fruity odor. 

The rind is thick and fleshy. The flesh is separated into segments clinging to the central core and each segment 

contains a seed surrounded by a sweet, juicy coating that is the edible part of the fruit. 

The fruit is considered superior in flavor to either Jakfruit or Cempedak.

The appearance of the fruit can be regarded as an intermediate shape between the jackfruit and the breadfruit. 

The fruit is round to oblong, 15-20 cm long and 13 cm broad, and weighing about 1 kg. The fruit average weight about 1 kg.

The thick rind is covered with soft, broad spines. They become hard and brittle as the fruit matures. 

The fruit does not fall to the ground when ripe. It should be  harvested while still hard, and left to ripen until soft. 

Marang fruits yellow when ripe. The ripe fruit is opened by cutting the rind around, twisting and gently pulling.  

The interior of the fruit is somewhat similar to a Jakfruit, but the color is white and the flesh is softer and way better tasting.

Marang tree is medium-sized to large. It grows to about 25 meters with a trunk diameter of 40 cm. 

It could grow in a wide  range of soil types-from light to heavy soils-but it will grow better in deep, 

loamy soil with a pH ranging from 5.5-8. It also yields best in places that are  elevated at 800 m above sea level.

It is propagated by budding, grafting, and marching.

Marang is a popular fruit dessert. After all, it is nutritious; it contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, crude  fiber, ash, 

calcium, phosphorus, iron, retinol, beta-carotene, vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and ascorbic acid.

Rare Seeds

Fresh Highest Quality

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.
