The ‘Richmond’ Kwai Muk (Artocarpus hypargyraeus) is a lesser-known tropical fruit tree, admired for its unique and delicious fruit. The small to medium-sized fruits have a soft, orange-red flesh with a sweet and tangy flavour, reminiscent of a blend between apricots and figs. The tree itself is evergreen, with attractive glossy leaves that add ornamental value to gardens.
‘Richmond’ Kwai Muk is a relatively hardy variety, capable of tolerating light frosts, making it suitable for subtropical and warmer temperate regions. It thrives in well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry periods.
