Bazza Smith says... Dear Brett,
You mention a "logan" tree. Do you mean the LONGAN or a tree from the LOGAN nursery?. If i can assist you in any way i would be glad to do so. I am just a amateur back yard grower with SIXTY plus unusual fruit trees. I will include my e-mail in this reply for you to obtain my telephone/address if you wish to do so.

MARION says... I have just been given some Logan fruit form a local sainsbury by a mate and have got them to germinate/haven't a clue what to do next but pleased & kind of smug that Idid at least recognise them as a kind of Lychee / my partner had other ideas.We have heated polytunnels liights etc as we are growers of herbs,salads & other crops on a small commercial basis, I just cannot resist trying anything new that is put in front of me,thus have quite a few "pet" plants.Being in the UK the climate is against me, but as these seeds have taken the trouble to try I should appreciate any input. | About the Author

Anonymous says... I am still confused as to whether this topic is about "Logan" trees or about Longan trees.
I suppose the Logan tree is a different species from the Longan tree ??? ..... it must be if it is Logan (and NOT Longan) tree ....

Shaun says... I went to a nursery in Baskerville last year and saw they had an un-named variety of Longan tree growing in a huge wine barrell.
Recently, I visited the nursery again, and they had transplanted out the longan tree onto the ground of their property.
WA nurseries seem to stock the Kohala variety and said it is suited for the Perth climate (because they don't have or cannot get other varieties ???) .... but the quality of Kohala fruit is not as good as the Thai varieties, such as Champoo and Biew Kiew.
Please share your experience if you have grown longan trees, especially if you are in the Sydney NSW or Perth WA areas.
Thanks. | About the Author

Henry says... Is it true that the Kohala fruit is not as good as the Champoo and Biew Kiew? I was under the impression that the Kohala is the best!! Please enlighten on the subject. | About the Author

Anonymous says... Kohala is more predictable in its fruiting habit.
However, most Asian Longan conossiers prefers the Thai varieties, especially the drier flesh varieties.
From what little I understand, Kohala's flesh is more marshy in texture, while Champoo, Biew Kiew and Haew have 'crisper' textures. | About the Author

Shaun says... Longans were available ay Sydney's Paddy's market during the Chinese New year season.
But the varieties there were unknown .... most had been kept in coolrooms before being sold, and so the taste wasn't at the best. | About the Author

Anonymous says... Yes, I had the same problem with my LONGANS ie the fruit started to develop and then fell off. I suspect it is because the trees I have are shaded out by my lychee and jack fruits. The other thing I noted was there were red stink type bugs on the branches - they have since disappeared - could that be the reason. Any experts on Longans out there??? | About the Author
