Longan - SeedlingMelbFruit's Edible FruitsUpdate: 653 days 19hrs 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. Likely an Asian variety. Please let me know if you have any insights. Was this review helpful?

Diamond River Longan 8/10Linton's Edible FruitsUpdate: 656 days 7hrs 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.

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... [2619 days 3hrs 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 |

Longan - Seedling (Seedling) 7/10Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1806 days 18hrs Comments: - This tree is now about 10yrs old and still hasn't had fruit yet. It got it's very first flowers this summer, only a very few, but maybe next year it will get started properly. I think this selection might be chill-sensitive as it get's the winter yellows - which disappear once the weather warms up again in Spring. Planted: 2008 Height 5 metres Growing: In the Ground Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Pollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: Balanced organic Acid lovers, sometimes inorganic acid lovers, alternating with slow release organic chook pellets. Little and often. Suphur in early spring and iron sulphate - when pH indicates. Was this review helpful?

Longan - Chompoo 9/10Amanda's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1807 days 19hrs Comments: - Marcotted so it starts fruiting straight away. I pruned the fruitlets off for the first year, left some for the scond year - but I probably should just let the tree focus on growing instead. It seems a bit less fussy than the Kohala when it comes to the bore water and rarely gets chlorosis. It might be a varietal difference, or not.

Longan - Kohala (Marcot) (Cutting) 8/10Magnificuss1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 3081 days 8hrs Comments: - This was a fruit I grew up with being from Borneo. Planted: 2015 Height 1.6 metres Growing: In the Ground Sun/Shade: Low Sun Water Given in: Spring Question: I planted this in Autumn in Melbourne this year. Statistically this winter was the coldest in 26 years of Melbournes history and yet the longan plant bought from Daleys has nearly doubled in growth. Have another one that hasnt done much through winter but spring has brought new flush starting now and what looks like flowers. Will update soon. Was this review helpful?
