Really? Never eaten mangosteen and rambutan? You will love them! They are really tasty but only bear fruits in season. We have 2 mangosteen trees in the garden, and one rambutan tree. During last season we could eat only from one mangosteen tree as there was a couple of giant squirrels who thought the tree belonged to them. No matter how much I chase them away when I turn back they are back on the tree. lol. So I gave up. The funny thing is that they started eating the bark of the tree after the season. I have photos I will find them and attach them.I love it. Your exotic is our everyday stuff and our everyday stuff is your exotic. I have never even tried mangosteen or rambutan. But, mangoes are wonderful. Since I live in Quebec, wild blueberries are easily available here, in season. When I lived out in the country, I used to pick them. I'm not that fond of them. To me, they are just okay. The wild strawberries and raspberries are some of my favourites.
Too bad it's the pandemic but if things get better during next season I might be able to send a few fruits to you.
