Longans are fairly large trees, growing to about 7m, there will always be some fruit out of reach. Maybe you could invest in a good ladder. You can cut the top out of paypaya trees, put a tin over the cut to avoid the trunk filling with water and rotting out on you. They will reshoot lower down the trunk. A tin nailed onto the end of a long stick can be useful to pick fruit that is out of reach.
