Diospyros blancoi/Mabolo(Kamagong-tree)/Velvet Apple/Butter Fruit/Buah Mentega......

It is a dioecious tropical tree that grows well in a diversity of soil, from the sea level to the 2,400 feet above sea level. Seed trees are normally planted 30 or 45 feet from each other; this one can be planted from 25 to 30 feet from each other. It needs a good distribution of rainfall through the year. Trees that were planted by seeds could take 6 or 7 years to give out fruit, but trees that were propagated by cuttings produce fruit in 3 or 4 years.

...and i have just received my baby plant....from an ebay seller 7_heads (8885 )....thank you again 7_heads....have looked for it for some time...but not able to get it locally....I  had eaten the fruit when i was much much younger.....errmmm though some people may hate it.... i do like the taste.... here is a pic of my baby.....

At this late age I doubt i'd be able to taste its fruit....siiigghhh....but never mind...am planting it for my children and grandchildren....may they like this rare-not-available-in-the-market fruit....!!

Found some more interesting info about this 'almost-extinct-fruit-in-Malaysia' from these sites...it seems not only is the plant rather ornamental but it also has medicinal values as well...errmmm great....
