Longan - SeedlingMelbFruit's Edible FruitsUpdate: 632 days 0hrs 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: 634 days 12hrs 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... [2598 days 8hrs 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... [2597 days 9hrs 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 |

Jakfruit - Seedling (Seedling)JenJen's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1497 days 2hrs Comments: - Great versatile fruit. You can eat it as a curry when it is green. The fruit is sweet and tasty when ripe. The seeds can be boiled and eaten plain or in a curry too. Height 40 Centimetres Growing: In a Pot Qty: 1 Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Pollination: Self Pollination Question: Again I water sparingly and not often. The tropical plants I've had so far do not appear to like too much water. I'll keep it in the pot until winter passes and then plant it in the ground in soring as the weather warms up. I hope it will grown down here in Melbourne. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report * You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
