Longan, 'Kohala' (Dimocarpus longan)
The Kohala Longan is an amazing Longan variety from Hawaii, producing a sweet butterscotch flavored fruit that is juicier, sweeter, and larger with smaller seeds than a typical Longan tree. Plant the unique Hawaiian Kohala Longan for plentiful harvests of branched-out bundles of juicy fruit all summer long!
Fruit arborists marvel at the steady composure of Kohala Longan. Reaching a height of up to 40 feet at maturation, this beautiful Longan variety can either emulate a gentle giant or easily be pruned and maintained to small spaces. Glossy, dark evergreen leaves emerge from its symmetrical branches, soaking up the sun and growing vigorously in any subtropical or tropical climate. The creamy yellow flower panicles are beloved by pollinators.
