Kohala Longan Tree 45G

Kohala Longan Tree in 45-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL.

Tropical, sweet, and elegantly productive—the Kohala Longan Tree (Dimocarpus longan 'Kohala') in a 45-gallon pot brings premium fruit and lush canopy beauty to your South Florida garden. Often called the "Dragon’s Eye" for its translucent flesh and dark seed, this lychee cousin offers richly sweet, slightly floral fruit with crisp texture and high yield potential.

This 45-gallon size is a mature, well-established tree—ready to thrive in the ground or large landscape space, and often just a season or two away from serious fruiting.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Requires full sun—at least 6–8 hours daily—for optimal flowering and heavy fruit set.

• Watering: Water deeply and regularly, especially during flowering and fruit development. Reduce watering slightly in winter to encourage bloom.

• Soil: Prefers well-draining sandy or loamy soils with slightly acidic to neutral pH. Enrich with organic matter for best results.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced tropical fruit fertilizer 3–4 times per year. Micronutrients like iron, zinc, and magnesium support foliage and fruit production.

• Growth Habit: Upright, spreading evergreen tree with dense, glossy green foliage. In a 45-gallon pot, it typically stands 8–10 feet tall, with the potential to reach 30–40 feet in-ground.

• Temperature: Thrives in USDA Zones 10–11. Ideal for South Florida’s warm, humid climate. Somewhat more cold-tolerant than lychee but still sensitive below 32°F.

• Maintenance: Moderate. Prune to shape and thin branches to improve airflow and sun exposure. Watch for aphids or scale during flowering—control organically if needed.

Fruit Notes: Produces round, tan-skinned fruits with clear, juicy flesh and a flavor that’s sweet, floral, and less tart than lychee. Harvest mid to late summer.

Ideal For:

• Tropical fruit lovers and rare fruit collectors

• South Florida edible landscapes
