Mabolo is a very beautiful dark red to purple colored fruit with velvet-like skin.
In fact the word, “Mabolo” in the Philippine language means “hairy”. So the name “Mabolo” has been assigned to it because of its hairy surface.
Mabolo is higly esteemed locally but is virtually unknown in other parts of the world.
For live plants, we can't send them to Alaska and Hawaii. If the order has already been placed, we will cancel it.
Happy Gardening!
