I am a premium, heavy-yielding variety prized for my large fruit size, high sugar content (Brix), and the fact that I am "Bolon" (freestone), making me a delight to eat fresh.

I am a high-quality selection that gained immense popularity in Kerala, India, and I am named "N 18" as part of a series of elite clones evaluated for their superior performance in tropical climates.

I require consistent and heavy watering, especially during my flowering and fruit-setting stages; I thrive in high-rainfall zones but must have well-drained soil to avoid "wet feet."

I am a sun-enthusiast; I need 8 to 10 hours of full, direct sunlight to develop my brilliant red color and to ensure my fruits are packed with sweetness.

I am an ultra-tropical tree, happiest in humid environments between 22°C and 36°C; I am very sensitive to dry winds and cold temperatures, which can cause my leaves to curl.

I grow into a medium-sized tree with a beautiful spreading canopy; I prefer slightly acidic, organic-rich loamy soils and am usually propagated via budding to ensure I fruit within 2 to 3 years.

I am a steady feeder; I love organic manures like bone meal and neem cake, supplemented with a balanced NPK fertilizer and micronutrients (Boron and Zinc) for better fruit set.

My scientific name is Nephelium lappaceum 'N 18' and I belong to the Sapindaceae family.

My translucent flesh is safe for pets in moderation, but my "hairy" skin and large seed should be kept away from them as they can cause digestive obstruction or choking.

My dense, evergreen foliage is highly efficient at filtering dust and sequestering carbon, creating a cool, oxygen-rich microclimate in your backyard or orchard.

I am rich in Vitamin C, copper, and manganese; my high water content and natural sugars provide an instant energy boost during hot summer months.

I can be prone to "fruit cracking" if watering is inconsistent, and I am a favorite of bats and birds, so netting my canopy during harvest season is often necessary.

I am a robust perennial tree that can provide you with heavy, "hairy" red harvests for 40 to 60 years.
