No hand pollination. Fruit sets on its own.

Hi Simon, the trees are planted in the ground. It’s all grafted on Californica rootstock. The Scions are from China trees. I’m positively sure there’s no cross contamination with the RKN infested trees. Hopefully the trees will be better when Spring comes around. As for the burnt leaf tips, I think I threw down too much fertilizer pellets.Mines look terrible. Not sure if it's the cold, Californica rootstock, or too much water.
Hey Max, is your tree in the ground or in a pot? Besides the yellowing, I also see some burnt leaf tips towards the back of your picture. Did your trees have any close contact with the trees imported from China? I’ve noticed that the trees that were imported from China and had root knot nematodes tended to have yellow leaves like yours. I wonder if any cross contamination may have occurred with RKN infested trees?

A lot of the fruit have that flat lopsided spot on bottom as well. And the thin skin, light flesh with the few fiber spots on the top. And the little funny thing that sticks out of the bottom of the seed. And the distinct seed shape.
If i had one to taste I could easily tell for sure. They have an off aftertaste that only bacon has.
Kaz, for sure leave fruit on all those trees until april or May or whenever and then check if the bottoms are cracking. I think the derek, nancy and hamanda are all bacons.
Nice roots developing on scion for sure what time of year did you do air-layer, thanks for pic's and update.Airlayer was done early July this year
That tasted good, I'll buy the plant.This sale is currently pending payment from another buyer. I'll let you know it becomes available. Thank you.
How's it compared in flavor of Sakip?Ikeda has strong aroma flavors just like Sakip and just as sweet too. Both varieties flavor hold up well under the cold nights condition. No weird(refrigeration aftertaste) compared to regular longans. If you can remember, the last sampled you tried was an Ikeda.
What time of year do you usually graft your longans?Starting late April through out the growing season. For me, the hotter the better
