Wow Richard are they Indonesian equatorial ones that can fruit in your climate? Are they similar to the standard longans?

[Colombo973]

Hi Mike,

This variety may come from south Thailand. It is cultivated in French Guiana for 20 years and best varieties have been selected. A kind of acclimatization.
I have to say they are pretty good, similar to standard longan, and highly prized in local markets.

I would want want these a little bit later. How long will your longan season last? Anyone care to comment about viability of longan seeds and time to first fruiting?

[Colombo973]

Season will be over on november.
Seed viability is short, i send it in moist sphagnum to allow them to sprout in transit.
Here, longan trees start to fruit in 2 to 5 years.

Are you saying that you have had two year old seedling (not grafted) longans fruiting?

Yes. Here we have almost year round rain, high humididy and warm temp, and some trees grow very fast if good care and fertilization.
I've saw cacao, chrysophyllum cainito and others starting to bear fruit (not only flowers) in only 1,5 year from seed.

Hi,

I tried to find out more about this tropical longan on the Internet. Do you know of this is Dimocarpus longan var. malesianus (mata kuching) that you grow?

Hi Tomas,

I've met the man who introduced Longan in French Guiana. He told me he bring back regular longan seeds from Thailand near 30 years ago and made many selections to get one variety that produce heavy and reliable crops.
So, i don't think this is Mata Kuching.
