Lychee - Kwai May Pink (B3) (Grafted) 10/10Kate816's Edible FruitsUpdate: 390 days 7hrs Comments: - This lychee is doing awesome in the ground. Turns out they like slightly acidic soil, so it's been planted next to our blueberry hedge to take advantage of the work already done to acidify that area. It suffered shock and stress when we first planted it, lost all its leaves and appeared dormant over Christmas, however it's green, leafy, happy and thriving now. Still too little t produce, but it attempted to fruit last year (kept our local bees happy!) but dropped all its fruit. Maybe this year or next year we will get a harvest but, even if not, patience is key.

Longan - SeedlingMelbFruit's Edible FruitsUpdate: 621 days 23hrs Question: I purchased this longan online and have no idea what variety it is. I was told it has seedless and that it is not a Kohala.

Diamond River Longan 8/10Linton's Edible FruitsUpdate: 624 days 10hrs Comments: - Diamond River Longan Propagated from seeds, this is one of the many types of Longan trees that I am growing. The Diamond River variety is said to be a reliable producer. Once at maturity it should produce fruit year in and year out without fail.

Yes | No | Report 4 of 10 people found this review useful CommentsFruitman says... [2588 days 7hrs ago]Hi Linton, I noticed that your Diamond River Longan is going well. I am not too far from you and wanted to go one from seeds. If I can successfully get a plant from the seedling, I intend to grow it on the pot so that I can bring it into the house during the winter months. Do you have any tips on how to grow the Longan tree successfully based on your experience? Looking forward to your reply and thanking you in anticipation. PatrickLinton says... [2587 days 7hrs ago] Hi Patrick Sorry but I don't have any spare Diamond River Longans left but you can buy seeds of it from Fruitlovers Nursery in Hawaii and they will send them here. It is not the best variety to grow as the fruit are a bit small. I do have a large fruiting Thai variety spare if you are interested in that one and it was grown from seed. There is a Longan tree in Springvale that has had fruit over Summer and they will grow outdoors in Melbourne. They don't need to be brought inside over Winter. But seed grown trees take a long time to fruit, maybe 7 - 10 years so it's better to get a grafted one in you can afford it as they will fruit much quicker. I had flowers on a grafted Longan this year that I have only had for 6 months so I expect it to fruit next year. Cheers!* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |

Lychee - Wai Chee (Cutting)1010501's Edible FruitsUpdate: 910 days 8hrs Comments: - Plant (marcot) arrived in May 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates. Spring 2021 - Has put on most of new growth at the bottom of the plant (?pretty sure this is not from rootstock or anything as plant is a marcot). Very slow growing.

Loquat - Nagasakiwase (Grafted)1010501's Edible FruitsUpdate: 910 days 8hrs Comments: - Plant arrived in Feb 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates. May 2020 - Has put on several inches of new growth. The rootstock seems reasonably active - keep finding new shoots and leaves from it. Spring 2021 - Has flowered and fruited for the first time this year - currently holding onto ~8 fruit (cut the rest off). Now in 45L planter bag. Leaves easily burnt by sun - under shade cloth to avoid this. Also remains very top heavy since purchase - needing a stake, still waiting for trunk to strenghten & am continuing to prune branches to lighten the load.
