Bangkok says... Well i have one of those totally seedless longans now, a grafted one. Also i have a hybrid lychee/longantree, have you ever heard about that one? The vendor made that himself. And another black longan which has different leaves then the fiji longan, it has dark red leaves in different shape. Well i will put pics of them here later, am busy now transporting them. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 30th January 2016 8:16pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkok says... I have the hybrid, black longan and seedless white longan now as grafted tree's. I asked the vendor if i can show you a pic of the fruit, if so i will post it here. Allrighty, have a look here..... https://www.google.co.th/search?q=%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B3%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A9%E0%B9%8C+%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%98%E0%B8%B8%E0%B9%8C+%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%82%E0%B8%9A%E0%B9%89&rlz=1C1CHWL_nlTH663TH663&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjFsbamydXKAhVOCY4KHaQfCa8QsAQIJg&biw=1366&bih=643 These pics are of the first naturally grown hybrids in northern thailand, 20 years ago. Also there are australian researchers who made this hybrid before. The vendor made the same hybrid but he used the best litchi and best longan from thailand. They checked it's DNA and it is a hybrid litchi/longan. I'm just telling you what they tell me. I'm no expert. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 1st February 2016 1:54pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkok says... I have to correct myself about the longan, it is a red longan not black. https://www.google.co.th/search?q=buah+lengkeng+merah&rlz=1C1CHWL_nlTH663TH663&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiP9teNj9fKAhVQBY4KHUzDDEIQsAQIGQ | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 1st February 2016 8:59pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkok says... The vendor imported those longans from Indonesia. His own tree of the white produces fruit all year he said and they don't smell/taste like durian. Just like longans. The red is very expensive in Indonesia but also that doesn't say much except that it must be new there as well (maybe imported from Vietnam?).. My longans will fruit within a year (grafted tree's) the vendor said...we will see, i put them in full sun now, together in a big pot. I'm just tired of those brown longans i see here all the time so i grow something else. My vendor is a big player though with a "real" shop, not a marketvendor who disappears like most of them do. So now i grow pluots, white and red longans and hybrid litchi/longan..Let's see which one really gives fruit here in BKK. It was 15 celcius this night, maybe that helps. The red pomelo is a red/orange grapefruit from vietnam i read. They get huge as a pomelo though with real red/orange color outside. I've seen many of them. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 8th February 2016 12:49pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |

Alvin11361 says... In Indonesia we call it "Lengkeng Matalada". It taste very good with small seed like pepper. Or the other "lengkeng aroma durian". Both of them are imported from Sarawak malaysia. About the "lengkeng merah" in Indonesia is from U.S. but imported from malaysia.

Bangkok says... Here are my first red longans. The white seedless longantree suddenly died while it was planted 20 cm away from this tree in the same large pot. The nice red ones on the other picture is what they should look like i guess. To me they look very different.
