Just thinking about lomboy today as I really miss them. Never seem lucky to visit Philippines during it’s short fruit season. Lucky to enjoy our summer fruits time and again but not the lomboy. Haven’t you noticed on the comments above ….. everybody seems to remember childhood memories of climbing the lomboy tree. Seems the generation of children now are more interested on TV games than the fun of climbing trees and mucking around on open fields. Not much of open fields nowadays but indeed it was much greater fun in the summer to play and muck around, climb trees, get dusty and sweaty … all the works of summer fun!

Melissa, I would have thought this is a more tropical type of tree, and probably unlikely to survive a cold winter, but I could be wrong…

Hi, I live in England. In my backyard garden is somewhat like a duhat tree. I don’t know if it can survive in this climate but because it’s nearly end of summer here at the momment (the time the tree normally bear fruit). I miss duhat and I wish I can say it is one. But I’m afraid to try it if it isn’t.

Lomboy the fruit did not come from Spain. Read the link in the post above to an earlier post on the background of duhat or lomboy.

As a child, my brother and I impatiently waited for the duhat season where we lived in Antipolo. We had a large, mature tree that produced an enormous amount of fruit. Our neighborhood friends would come over and the duhats were usually picked clean within a few days. We ate them as is.

Tomorrow I am planting a duhat tree that I grew from seed. I have waited three years to put it in the ground but I don’t know if it will make it in Florida.

Does anyone know how long it will take for the tree to bare fruit? It is in a 3 galllon pot and is about 2 meters. My climate zone is 9B with wet summers and dry winters. Any suggestions for care?

Thanks
