Ruby Longan (Imported) Fruit Plant

About Ruby Longan (Imported)

Ruby Longan (Dimocarpus longan var. malesianus) is a tropical evergreen tree prized for its small, round fruits with translucent, juicy flesh and a subtly sweet flavour. Native to Southeast Asia, it's cultivated for its refreshing fruit, rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and B vitamins.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Sunny locations with partial shade.
• Soil: Well-drained, loamy soil, pH 6.0-7.5.
• Climate: Warm tropical climate; protect young plants from frost and cold.

Planting & Spacing

The tree can grow to 10-12 m in the ground, so allow adequate spacing; can also be grown in a large pot while young.

Care

• Watering: Regular watering, keeping soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer high in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium during the growing season.
• Pruning: Prune annually to remove dead or diseased branches and promote airflow.

Fruiting & Harvest

Ruby Longan typically starts fruiting in about 3-5 years. Harvest fruit once the skin turns a ripe reddish-brown and the flesh is plump and translucent.
