That’s awesome. I’m curious to try out the Sri Champoo and Biew Kiew longans, as in the Southeast Asian countries, they have never heard of the Kohala variety.
Nice content. Which variety do you think grows the best/strongest, is the most productive and fruits the earliest in the season (say between Kohala, biew kiew and chompo?)
I’d go with the Kohala, then Biew Kiew. Sri Chompoo is a bit picky. Bear in mind, longans in general can alternate yearly, taking a break in some years and fruiting the next.
It’s hard to say, but if your tree is a fairly slow grower, it may be the Sri Chompoo variety as their foliage isn’t too shiny. If it’s super fast grower (particularly with vertical growth), it may be the Biew Kiew variety. Then again, I really only have experiences with these 3 varieties so what you have may be something else.
My apologies, I just saw your question. The Kohala variety seems to handle the best direct heat. During the first few years, the tree will naturally have some leaf burn, but it’ll eventually acclimate. I’ve really never had any heat or frost issues with any of my Kohala, Biew Kiew and Sri Champoo longans.
@@TropicalCentralValley No worry... last month I drove to Socal and bought a 20gal and 25gal Kohala, 1/4 the AZ Prices and twice the size. Well worth it. :)
The majority of my tropicals came from Mimosa, Champa or Emily nurseries in the Los Angeles region. When I was there a few months back, Mimosa and Champa and a respectable number (300+) longan trees, some of which were the Biew Kiew varieties.
Water, when soil is no longer moist, unless the tree is flowering/fruiting, at which point I give them extra water. Granular - 3X per year Foliar - 2X per month Liquid - when needed for container grown plants
I do have a number of longan seedlings, as they do propagate easily. The only issue is, it generally takes about 6 years before the seedlings start to produce fruits.
The Kohala variety seems to slightly sweeter, but it’s very close to the Biew Kiew and Sri Champoo. The nice thing about the Kohala and Biew Kiew is that the trees do really well in the Central Valley. Sri Champoo struggles a bit.

Love the setups
Good video 👍
where you get your Biew Kiew logons looking to add to my yard with my kahala logon
Those Logan are ready to take off. I have one that is 15 ft tall in modesto
That’s awesome. I’m curious to try out the Sri Champoo and Biew Kiew longans, as in the Southeast Asian countries, they have never heard of the Kohala variety.
cool like
Do they need some protection fun the sun when they are same an what type of fertilizer do you used to help them fruit??
I’ve never had to protect any of mine from either the sun or frost.
I used organic fertilizer, no particular brand.

I have a mature longan tree, the leaves are not shiny. Wonder why variety it is?

Hi. In your opinion, out of all the variety which one is easiest to set fruit or productive? In dry heat of course. :)
My apologies, I just saw your question. The Kohala variety seems to handle the best direct heat.

Hi, can you make a detailed video dedicated to growing the longan tree in a pot please?
Although not specific to longan trees, on 1/13/2021, I made a video which covers the topic of growing tropical fruit trees in containers.
where you get your Biew Kiew Logan wanting to add another variety in my yard
I actually have made a number of recent videos touring some of the various tropical fruit tree nurseries in the Los Angeles region.
@@TropicalCentralValley so you got it locally and not from Florida at mimosa nursery i look no trees at this time i keep looking
The majority of my tropicals came from Mimosa, Champa or Emily nurseries in the Los Angeles region.

How often do you water and feed your longan plants?
Water, when soil is no longer moist, unless the tree is flowering/fruiting, at which point I give them extra water.
Granular - 3X per year
Foliar - 2X per month
Liquid - when needed for container grown plants
👍♥️🇺🇸
Which type is dwarf? I only want it grow to 6 ft
I’d definitely go for the Kohala and the Sri Chompoo.
how about Wax Jambu, can u grow in zone 9?
Yes, with some care. I have several growing in ground as well as in containers.
I have one but didn’t grow well
That’s a bummer. All of mine, including seedlings have done really well.
Did you try g6row some from seeds?
I do have a number of longan seedlings, as they do propagate easily. The only issue is, it generally takes about 6 years before the seedlings start to produce fruits.
In term of taste, which variety would you think it tastes best? It would be great if you can make a video for fruit comparision among these.
The Kohala variety seems to slightly sweeter, but it’s very close to the Biew Kiew and Sri Champoo.
The nice thing about the Kohala and Biew Kiew is that the trees do really well in the Central Valley. Sri Champoo struggles a bit.
