In the Philippines, where it is locally referred to as the lanzones or langsa, the plant is grown mostly on the southern parts of the island of Luzon, especially in Paete, Laguna, due to the species' narrow range of conditions favorable to its survival.

It is also found in abundance on Northern Mindanao particularly in places as Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, and Camiguin.
The different barangays have coconut plantation, lanzones fruit - Lansium domesticum tree plantation and rambutan fruit tree plantation - Rambutan.
