Rambutan ripening on the tree
The fruit of the slow-growing mangosteen
Longan ripening and filling in with complex flavors
The durian. Infamous, odiferous and to many, delicious!
The four fruits above are the main tree fruit crops grown at the Panoramic Fruit Company. The mangosteen is finally available in small quantities in Puerto Rico. See Coming in 2012 for more on this.
Introduction
The Panoramic Fruit Company is an exotic fruit farm located in western Puerto Rico. We started in 1994 and after many trials and numerous errors we are now supplying rambutan, mangosteen, longan, durian and other fruits in wholesale quantities. Starting in the Summer of 2003, we had our first rambutan harvest available for sale to wholesalers in Puerto Rico. And starting in 2012, we are now legally allowed to ship fresh rambutan to the States! The quantities available continue to rise each year as the last trees to be planted come into production and the older trees increase their yield.
The biggest news to impact on the farm is our permission to ship rambutan to the States. The application to do so was approved in 2011 and with some time to work out 'the bugs' we should begin shipping fresh, unirradiated rambutan into the US mainland.
Please direct wholesale inquiries to wholesale@panoramicfruit.com or call Robert Luciano at (787) 672-2134.
Rambutan is also available to interested wholesale buyers on other islands in the Caribbean. The logistics of this need to be worked out but for some islands, this could be the first time that fresh high quality rambutan has ever been available. Contact us at wholesale@panoramicfruit.com for additional information. Also see the Current Availability page and the Coming in 2012 page for more information.
Foreign customers can obtain a USDA transit permit that allows us to ship from Puerto Rico to any international buyer outside the US. From San Juan, Puerto Rico, rambutan can be shipped to Britain or Japan or just about anywhere. To reach the Caribbean islands, rambutan can be trucked to Mayaguez, Aguadilla or San Juan and flown to its final destination. Rambutan can be picked and on its way in 48 hours. Inquiries welcomed!
There is some durian available in August through September each year. This will be posted on the Current Availability page. Also see Coming in 2012.
The longan is available in wholesale quantities for sales inside Puerto Rico only. This is a somewhat fragile tree so I am hoping to see some fruit every year but any mild wind storm could change this outcome for the worst. We have a crop coming in 2012 that will begin to appear at the end of August.
