Kohala Longan Tree 25G

Kohala Longan Tree in 25-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL.

Lush, productive, and irresistibly sweet—the Kohala Longan Tree (Dimocarpus longan 'Kohala') in a 25-gallon pot brings premium tropical fruit and ornamental elegance to South Florida gardens. Often referred to as the “Dragon’s Eye,” this lychee cousin produces round, golden-brown fruit with clear, juicy flesh and a sweet, floral flavor that’s rich in antioxidants and widely adored across Asia and the tropics.

The 25-gallon size offers a robust, well-established tree ready to flourish in your edible landscape, backyard orchard, or tropical garden with minimal effort and major fruiting potential.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Requires full sun—at least 6–8 hours daily—for strong canopy growth and heavy fruiting.

• Watering: Water deeply and regularly, especially during flowering and fruit formation. Reduce slightly in winter to help encourage blooms.

• Soil: Thrives in well-drained sandy or loamy soils with neutral to slightly acidic pH. Add compost to enrich and support healthy root systems.

• Fertilizer: Feed 3–4 times a year with a tropical fruit tree fertilizer. Include trace minerals like iron, magnesium, and zinc to support leaf health and flowering.

• Growth Habit: Upright, densely foliated evergreen tree. In a 25-gallon pot, expect the tree to be 6–8 feet tall, with the potential to reach 30–40 feet in-ground.

• Temperature: Best for USDA Zones 10–11. Ideal for South Florida’s subtropical climate. Cold-sensitive below 32°F—protect young trees if necessary.

• Maintenance: Moderate. Prune annually to maintain shape and allow light to reach inner branches. Monitor for pests like aphids or fruit flies during fruiting season.

Fruit Notes: Produces clusters of round fruit with a thin tan skin and translucent, sweet pulp. The taste is similar to lychee but slightly muskier and less acidic. Typically harvested in mid to late summer.
