I love fresh Longan fruit (usually a bit old and tatty at shops).  I'm not familiar with varieties, but Kohala sounded nice enough so I went with it. Was planted early Feb. this year ('12), and has taken 2 1/2 months to finally start growing - beautifully coloured, and new flushes growing rapidly.  Has been planted in path of water run-off, but is in a mound on a slope, and seems quite happy.

Spring '12: after initial slow start, has now doubled its' size, and at present appears to be developing flower buds. Too young to allow to fruit yet though.

Longan - Kohala (Marcot) (Cutting) ^3/10

Comments: -

2nd year planted in ground. Tree pretty tall already approx 2.5 m vertical. Not spreading. Wish it was growing sideways more and up less. Currently, there appears to be 2-3 flower spikes, but not sure as they are too high up to have a close look. Fingers crossed. If so, can't do much about protecting the fruit (I try to wrap them, especially when there is precious few). Insects seem to like the young leaves and bite many tiny holes in them. I have sprayed neem oil and this seems to control the number of bitten leaves, and encourage the growth of more new and fat leaves. Running low on neem oil can't seem to find them anywhere in the nurseries around. Won't know if I'm satisfied until I taste that fruit.
