A rambutan is a kind of fruit tree from southeast Asia. It is related to the Lychee. The rambutan is green when not yet ripe. The flesh of the rambutan is white in color, unlike its shell, which is red. It is known for the hairy balls it has. The balls are juicy and sweet, and a bit crunchy. It has a small smooth seed. An average tree grows from 5,000-6,000 + fruit.[source?]
