Thank you for your useful video. I will move to LV next year, I have 4 Atemoya ( mẵng cầu)trees and 1 Longan in pots. Do you think mẵng cầu able to grow in LV? Hope Your Longan trees are growing good
My 2 Longans are growing well and continue to produce fruits. Atemoya actually do better in Vegas than Sugar Apple. I have 1 sugar apple and will be planning to buy Geffner Atemoya soon. They will need to be protected in the winter for first few years. Looking forward for another tropical grower to Las Vegas. Connect me on Instagram: GreenMangoesLV if you need helps.
I purchased a Lychee tree along with other fruit trees this year and I REALLY wanted to grow a Logan tree. I live in Texas so I know it’s going to be potted in the early years.
Thank you for the video. I have a 5-year-old longan in southern california, also in a pot. Almost all the female flowers turned green and then dried and drop. Do you have any suggestion? Is it the temperature too low? It's around 60-70F here.
@@GreenMangoes I water it every 2-3 days, depending on the dryness of the soil and do 4-12-0 fish bone every month, also had triple 15 slow release once.
@@zuotingchen4983 I used bone meal, very high in phosphorus. In addition I use superblooms from Scotts. Make sure you have enough bees visiting you as well.
@@Toomuchbullshitt I'm out in the countryside, so it's not as warm as in London, but I am going to try to grow some Lychees from seed and keep them inside over Winter🤞🤞
@@JamesEdington Longan, especially kahola Longan from hawaii, are ok at mid 20s when mature. I covered mine up last year, didnt even need to go in greenhouse. I do want white sapote and chocolate sapote. Last time I visited San Jose, the chocolate sapote fruit was $19 a pound, madness
Are you growing in container? Well drained potting soil of your choice (I used FoxFarm Ocean Forest) + 25% of sand. Some people get great result of cactus soil plus 25% sand as well.
I have had this longan for about 2 years. Bought it when it was in 7 gallons container and had a lot of roots. I would typically repot to 15 gallons first but since longan doesn't like to be disturbed much, I jumped straight to 25 gallons container. With the condition that the root ball is already big and soil with a lot of drainage (Fox Farm Ocean Forest). This is my 2nd year and it already bear fruit. Super yummy. I would say that longan grows pretty fast, giving the idea condition and feed properly.
Long, you know I love and appreciate your efforts and passion, but Las Vegas will occasionally, maybe once in a decade get down to single digits. That's the reason that there's no old growth tropicals here. It even kills a lot of sub tropical citrus. I moved here in 1987 and enjoyed winter until 1990 when it was 10 degree's. It doesn't happen every year, but it happens and tropical growers need to be prepared for it.
Thank you Tim. I'm actually very concern and taking huge risks because tropical trees are not cheap. If it does get down to single digits, all of my tropical trees will get damage, even having the heater in greenhouse will not be able to bring temp above 45 degrees. I'm trying to control myself not to buy anymore because the effort to protect a few trees are still doable, but a lot of them will not be practical. As I mentioned in the videos, they're picky, from soil to fertilzers and everything else. Growing peaches, plums, apricots, and pomegranates are much more enjoyable in our climate. Once in a while I do need a reality check and refrain myself from buying too many hahaha. Definitely not the climate for them.
@@GreenMangoes Can you double layer the greenhouse and add hot water bucket? I just had this longan in the ground and plan to put a temporary greenhouse over it in the winter in zone ........ 6b 😆
Single digits no longer exist in Las Vegas. In fact winters have been getting significantly warmer by the decade. Apparently Las Vegas makes the list for one of the top three fastest warming cities with number one being Reno. Last time it got down to single digits was in 1990 at 11 F. That was at least 30 years ago! If anything, desiccation and extreme heat will more likely kill tropicals in the valley than cold would. Some parts of the valley actually hover between a zone 9b to 10a.
Excellent video. I'm from Brazil, I've had a common longan tree for over 5 years that has never borne fruit. is there any difference in the leaves of the longan koala to the common one? Is there a way to identify the longan koala by the leaves?
wonderful video I truly have learned something. I presently am trying to grow such a tree for the first time, Thanks for the useful input.
Thanks for watching.
I can't hear a damn thing with the background music. Is the music even necessary!???
Music to loud, you want we listen to the music or your talking???
Good video.
Thank you
Thanks so much for the knowledge ❤
Thanks for watching

You're welcome
Good video, good information Long.
Thank you Khiem, hope you grow Longan too

I am so sorry. I don’t have and don’t use Instagram.
Magnolia’s nursery in LA have lot of Gefner if you would like check it out.
@@QuynhNguyen-wk8vu I will make more videos. I was in Riverside and Orange County last weekend but forgot to visit the nursery
Awesome
Thanks
I purchased a Lychee tree along with other fruit trees this year and I REALLY wanted to grow a Logan tree. I live in Texas so I know it’s going to be potted in the early years.
Both Lychee and Longan are fun. How are big is the one you are buying?
@@GreenMangoes They’re all around 6 feet tall.
@@camiele4 thats pretty big. They can go into 25 gallons container

How often do water and when did you fertilize?

@@GreenMangoes Thanks, I think I have superblooms for roses, but haven't apply it to fruit tree, I will give it a try.
@@zuotingchen4983 give it a try next year. If you have Instagram, update me. GreenMangoesLV
Is the kohala Longan tree drought tolerant?? What kind of tells Longan Tree gives when you under water or over water?? Thanks.
I wouldn't say that it's drought tolerance, but I only need to water when soil is dry. I usually wait few days until trop 1 to 2 inches dry to water.
I so wish I could grow one of these in England!
You might outdoors if you live in London. Some large avocado trees grow there
Would you consider growing in pot?
Agreed. Can always try and acclimate to the weather
@@Toomuchbullshitt I'm out in the countryside, so it's not as warm as in London, but I am going to try to grow some Lychees from seed and keep them inside over Winter🤞🤞
Do you leave in the containers or plant in ground ?
Still in containers
I need to get me one of these.
My fruits already getting to mature stage, probably along with Loquat its thrive here. Only need to cover up during frost.
@@GreenMangoes oh so longans require frost protection? I didn’t know that. Do you have white sapotes too? You’ve seen mine, no fruit yet on mine.

Could you please give your advice on best soil mix for mangoes?

Love your videos, we’re did you purchase the sta-green bone meal 1-25 fertilizer
Thank you. I bought the bone meal from Home Depot. Amazon also sells this.
Hi am you please let me know what kind of fertilizer you use thanks .
ping pong, white longan, dimond river, rubi, kohala which is best variety?
I love kahola. I haven't tried the other varieties you mentioned
How many years is this longan tree since planted? Is it a fast growing tree? Thanks

Hi beside star selling 15 recycle nursery pot one of ur video mention places to get them any idea where to get 20-25 gallon nursery pot in vegas area
Greencoast or growgeneration, or any hydroponics store will sell 25 gallons for $15.
I turned the volume to the max but understand you to the least .The music so loud and your pronunciation ………😢

@@GreenMangoes Ok, I have the biew kiew variety here and identifying it by the leaves is difficult.
Talk too much
