A lot of fruits in season were on sale yesterday and they were cheap:   rambutan is at P25.00 per kg;  lanzones is P50.00 per kg.   Durian is also aplenty at only P50.00 per kg.

Marang and durian according to the vendor, Gladys de la Cruz are a plenty in Paete, Laguna.  Lanzones and rambutan come from all over Laguna:   Calauang, Famy, Pakil, Pangil, Cavinti;  very few lanzones now grow in Paete.  I have heard very soon, Paete will overtake Davao as durian capital of the PHL.

Those who were selling fruits were found at:   Pililla (Halayhayin) - two sites,  Lagundi - 1 site;   2 sites at Bilibiran (mostly rambutan) and one at Tagpos, Binangonan, Rizal.

Unfortunately for me, I did not have a back pack to place the fruits, so I was not able to buy.

                               This variety sells for P30.00/kg.

                               Lanzones, today, they will be over ripe

                                   Durian, reported one of the king of the fruits

 Rambutan trees heavily laden with fruits, ready for picking

Rambutan is great succulent fruit that grows well in Laguna.  And mostly in Cavinti and Luisiana because of the fertile soil from the volcano (Mt Banahaw) and the cool weather the whole year round.  Rambutan costs P50.00 elsewhere, P30 and 35 in Paete but in Famy and Lumban, only 25.   I bought several kgs.

Thanks Richard for this great unusual shots .

First time to see such heavily fruit laden rambutan trees!
