Longan Kohala (Dimocarpus longan) 

Super Rare and Only a Limited Quantity Available

The Grafted Kohala Longan plants are  very very special addition to anyone who loves this fruit but does not like waiting for long. The plant were grafted from a heavily fruiting mother plant grown in NZ and fully acclimatized to NZ weather condition. 

A longan or dragon eye tree is perfect if you like lychees and rambutans but your climate isn’t quite tropical enough, as they will tolerate much cooler temperatures.

A highly sought after plant in New Zealand. Kohala is an exceptional variety it has smaller seeds and thick flesh. Very sweet, large, plump and juicy flesh.

Longan trees are part of the Dimocarpus family, an attractive small to medium sized tree with lots of lovely reddish new growth through spring and summer and a heavy canopy of shiny, green leaves, although you may want to keep them smaller or thin the canopy to make harvesting the fruit easier.

See the last photo of my own Longan fruiting in a pot at home in Auckland! 

We recommended to keep the plant in a pot for a while until it reaches 1m tall before attempting to replant in the ground. The plants are happily growing in a medium size pot.

1-2 years to get established and fruiting approximately.
