History
The rambutan was first introduced by famed ethnobotanist Bill Bartlett in 1977. Bartlett was researching origins of tropical fruit at the Ram Jam institute of Her Lady Black Betty University, and experimenting on grafting and cloning of fruits as a side project. He decided to use his mustache hair to graft a leechee fruit to a Bartlett Pear tree (the eponymous pear he and his brother Bob had discovered decades earlier). He noticed that the mustache hair began to grow on the out hull of the fruit, resulting the rambutan most widely consumed in St. Pete today.[unverified]
