Is the Longan tree wind-intolerant?
« on: June 19, 2018, 05:18:43 PM »
I'm deciding between a lychee and longan. I've read that the lychee is essentially wind-intolerant.

My planting location is on a slope that gets directly hit by Santa Ana winds (strong, warm, dry winds). This is surely a major problem for lychee. Is the longan any better at withstanding the wind?

Yeah Longan is noticeably more resistant to drought and wind then Lychees.
