Ambarella Seeds SPONDIAS DULCIS JUNE PLUM golden apple Origin Country Sri Lanka
Ambarella, scientifically termed as
Spondias
dulcis, is a tropical fruit-bearing tree that goes by several common names including
June plum, golden apple, dwarf golden plum, Indian hog plum and Makok faring
.
Origin:
Native to the Indo-Malaysian region and now spread throughout the tropics.
Climate:
It grows well in warm sub-tropical climates and in the tropics up to 700m. There is some drought tolerance and foliage may be shed briefly when under stress. There is very little frost tolerance.
Plant Description:
A rapidly growing glabrous tree with a rounded canopy, 10-15m high in its preferred environment but less elsewhere. In cooler sub-tropical climates it can be semi-deciduous. The pinnate leaves, 20-60cm long, have 7-12 pairs of glossy oblong-lanceolate leaflets, 6-10cm long, with an acute apex and a short petiole.
Relatives:
Ambarella is a member of the Anacardiaceae Family, as are mangos, red and yellow mombins, cashew, pistachio, marula and imbu.
Soils:
Undemanding if well-drained.
Propagation:
Trees are often grown from seeds which germinate within a few weeks; seedlings may also be used as rootstocks for grafting and budding. Some seeds are polyembryonic. While cuttings and air layers are possible, seedlings and grafted trees are more vigorous than the other propagation forms. Large variations in fruit quality are found across trees, with the most important features being the levels of sweetness, acid and fibre.
Cultivation:
Young trees should be shaded for the first 1-2 years, but thereafter they perform best with full sun exposure; shaded trees produce little fruit.
Pruning:
Mainly to remove any dead and damaged wood and maintain size. Remember when pruning that fruit is borne on 1-year-old wood. Thinning of fruit within the panicle will improve individual fruit size.
The Fruit:
The climacteric fruit is an ellipsoid or globose drupe weighing up to 400g but smaller with dwarf trees, and is borne on a long peduncle in bunches of a dozen or more. With ripening, skin colour changes from bright green to bright orange and the flesh turns a golden yellow or orange colour. The tough endocarp has irregular spines and fibrous protuberances and contains 1-5 flat seeds. The flesh has reasonable levels of Ca and vitamins A and C. Carbohydrate content is about 12%.
Fruit Uses:
The fruit is eaten fresh and also used in juices, jams, jellies and in canned forms. The green fruit can be used in salads curries and pickles. Fresh, it is best while still firm and crisp when it is sub-acid and juicy with a fragrance and flavour frequently described as similar to pineapple. As the fruit softens the flesh becomes more fibrous and difficult to eat or cut.
Pests and Diseases:
Minimal.
