Photo of Green Grapes in the Tropic

Below are photos of Green Grapes growing in the hot tropical land of Borneo. There are at least four kinds of green grapes, namely, Calmeria, Perlette, Sugarone and Superior Seedless (Menindee Seedless). I'm not sure which species the green grapes on the photo is.

Whatever it is, it pretty amazing to actually see grapes grown in humid and sunny places. The green grapes in this post are grown in a nursery of Borneo Highlands Resort, more than 3,000 feet above sea level.

    hi EzRich!
    Came across your photo blog with pix of grapes in Borneo.

    Then I remembered my plant-loving friend in Singapore, Mrs Tan, has green grapes growing in her garden too!

    There are bunches and bunches of them hanging from the vines. They are a lovely emerald green and look really succulent. You just wanna pluck the grapes and pop them into your mouth.

    But wait! Why haven't the birds or insects attacked them yet? Er well, oops, they are rather sour *-* Haha!

    Please view pix of Mrs Tan's yummy -looking grapes here http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/9592/grapesinsingaporeie5.jpg
