A wampee (Clausena wampi)[1] is a tree native to south China and Indochina. It is cultivated for its fruit which resemble grapes in appearance and are popular in China, Vietnam and the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. The tree is less frequently grown in India, Sri Lanka and Queensland, and occasionally in Florida and Hawaii. [2]

The tree reaches a maximum height of 20 meters. It grows well in tropical or subtropical conditions and is susceptible to cold. Wampee trees grow well in a wide range of soil but prefer rich loam. [3]
