Willughbeia sarawacensis is a large tropical climbing vine from Borneo and Palawan, grown for its grapefruit-sized, sweet, edible fruit. It needs a wet tropical climate and some support to climb on, and it is mainly grown in gardens and experimental plantings rather than as a houseplant.
Willughbeia sarawacensis, commonly known as tabo (Philippines) and kubal or kubal madu (Malaysia), is a large tropical vine-bearing plant with edible fruit native to Palawan and to the nearby island of Borneo. There are four related varieties known in Borneo: kubal asam or kubal taya, kubal tusu or kubal madu, kubal arang (all fall under Willughbeia sarawakensis), and another much bigger cousin tabau (Willughbeia elimeri).
