I had this Longan 3 years ago as a gift from friend. He bought from Toptropical.com. It didn't a tag when I received it. Therefore, I have no idea which variety it is. I had it in 25 gallons pot for 2 years, and then put in ground last year because it seems to outgrew the pot. It produced fruits for the last 3 years, but this year it has more flowers.Ah, okay. I've been looking at some of their longan cultivars on their site for some time now. I'd like to order from Top Tropicals, but I've heard many comments regarding poor labeling on their end. But its good to hear that the fruit quality is good from your tree! Maybe the fruits will get bigger over time, or if you thin them more.
The fruit is not very big, and the seed is small as well. Very tasty.
Thanks
Im looking for some to be sent to S.AI generally see them available in summer.
Any good sources appreciated
When is the season for these?
I run on 24/7 light and my CAM plants in general do poorer than my non-CAM plants. I think you need a proper night cycle to get good growth out of CAM plants. But that of course means more light during the day to make up for it. Non-CAM plants seem to generally quite enjoy 24-7 light. I may at some point switch to 18-6, depending on how the greenhouse project goes Also, a few of my plants are short-day plants, so when they reach flowering size, if I want to get anything out of them I'll have to cut to even shorter day lengths, at least until flowering/fruiting is triggered.
This site contains pictures of some of the more common and uncommon guavas grown in Hawaii. You might be able to identify yours by going through the pictures.Coyote, thanks for the resource! Some of these species/cultivars are a bit hard to find photos of for ID.
