Kohala Longan Live Fruit Tree — Air Layered, ½-Gallon Pot

Grow a treasured tropical fruit tree with Kohala Longan (Dimocarpus longan), a popular longan variety associated with Hawaii. Known as lengkeng or kelengkeng in Southeast Asia, longan is prized for its sweet, juicy fruit and is a wonderful addition to a warm-climate home orchard.

Kohala is valued by longan enthusiasts for its appealing fruit quality. The fruit typically has translucent, juicy flesh surrounding a dark seed, with a sweet flavor often compared to lychee. Flavor, fruit size, and harvest quality vary with growing conditions and tree maturity.

This plant is air layered, a vegetative propagation method that produces a plant from an established branch rather than growing it from seed.

Plant Care Guide

Sunlight: Grow in full sun for best long-term growth and potential fruit production. Acclimate the plant gradually to stronger direct sunlight if it has been growing in a shaded nursery.

Watering: Water regularly while the plant establishes. Water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain and the soil to partially dry between waterings. Avoid waterlogged soil, especially in a container.

Soil: Use a well-draining, fertile potting mix. Slightly acidic to neutral soil is generally suitable, provided the roots receive adequate drainage.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced fertilizer formulated for fruit trees, following the label directions. Avoid excessive fertilizer, particularly when the plant is young.

Temperature: Kohala Longan is best suited to warm tropical and subtropical climates. Protect young plants from frost and prolonged cold weather.

Pruning: Remove dead or damaged branches and prune selectively to maintain a manageable shape as the tree grows. Mature trees can become large, but their size can be managed with appropriate pruning.

Wind protection: Choose a sheltered location where possible. Good drainage and protection from strong winds help support healthy growth.

Container growing: A half-gallon plant will eventually need a larger container or a suitable outdoor planting site. Allow room for root development as it grows.

Fruiting Information

Air-layered longan plants are vegetatively propagated and may reach fruit-bearing maturity sooner than seed-grown plants. However, flowering, fruiting, and harvest timing are not guaranteed. They depend on plant maturity, climate, seasonal conditions, sunlight, and care.
