Thank you. I bought the bone meal from Home Depot. Amazon also sells this.

Hi am you please let me know what kind of fertilizer you use thanks .

Greencoast or growgeneration, or any hydroponics store will sell 25 gallons for $15.

Are you growing in container? Well drained potting soil of your choice (I used FoxFarm Ocean Forest) + 25% of sand. Some people get great result of cactus soil plus 25% sand as well.

How often do water and when did you fertilize?

@@GreenMangoes I water it every 2-3 days, depending on the dryness of the soil and do 4-12-0 fish bone every month, also had triple 15 slow release once.

@@zuotingchen4983 I used bone meal, very high in phosphorus. In addition I use superblooms from Scotts. Make sure you have enough bees visiting you as well.

@@GreenMangoes Thanks, I think I have superblooms for roses, but haven't apply it to fruit tree, I will give it a try.

@@zuotingchen4983 give it a try next year. If you have Instagram, update me. GreenMangoesLV

I wouldn't say that it's drought tolerance, but I only need to water when soil is dry. I usually wait few days until trop 1 to 2 inches dry to water.

I have had this longan for about 2 years. Bought it when it was in 7 gallons container and had a lot of roots. I would typically repot to 15 gallons first but since longan doesn't like to be disturbed much, I jumped straight to 25 gallons container. With the condition that the root ball is already big and soil with a lot of drainage (Fox Farm Ocean Forest). This is my 2nd year and it already bear fruit. Super yummy. I would say that longan grows pretty fast, giving the idea condition and feed properly.

My 2 Longans are growing well and continue to produce fruits. Atemoya actually do better in Vegas than Sugar Apple. I have 1 sugar apple and will be planning to buy Geffner Atemoya soon. They will need to be protected in the winter for first few years. Looking forward for another tropical grower to Las Vegas. Connect me on Instagram: GreenMangoesLV if you need helps.

Thank you I am so sorry. I don’t have and don’t use Instagram. Magnolia’s nursery in LA have lot of Gefner if you would like check it out.

@@QuynhNguyen-wk8vu I will make more videos. I was in Riverside and Orange County last weekend but forgot to visit the nursery

My fruits already getting to mature stage, probably along with Loquat its thrive here. Only need to cover up during frost.

@@GreenMangoes oh so longans require frost protection? I didn’t know that. Do you have white sapotes too? You’ve seen mine, no fruit yet on mine.

@@JamesEdington Longan, especially kahola Longan from hawaii, are ok at mid 20s when mature. I covered mine up last year, didnt even need to go in greenhouse. I do want white sapote and chocolate sapote. Last time I visited San Jose, the chocolate sapote fruit was $19 a pound, madness

Still in containers

Both Lychee and Longan are fun. How are big is the one you are buying?

@@GreenMangoes They’re all around 6 feet tall.

@@camiele4 thats pretty big. They can go into 25 gallons container

I love kahola. I haven't tried the other varieties you mentioned

You might outdoors if you live in London. Some large avocado trees grow there

Would you consider growing in pot?

Agreed. Can always try and acclimate to the weather

@@Toomuchbullshitt I'm out in the countryside, so it's not as warm as in London, but I am going to try to grow some Lychees from seed and keep them inside over Winter🤞🤞

Thank you Tim. I'm actually very concern and taking huge risks because tropical trees are not cheap. If it does get down to single digits, all of my tropical trees will get damage, even having the heater in greenhouse will not be able to bring temp above 45 degrees. I'm trying to control myself not to buy anymore because the effort to protect a few trees are still doable, but a lot of them will not be practical. As I mentioned in the videos, they're picky, from soil to fertilzers and everything else. Growing peaches, plums, apricots, and pomegranates are much more enjoyable in our climate. Once in a while I do need a reality check and refrain myself from buying too many hahaha. Definitely not the climate for them.

@@GreenMangoes Can you double layer the greenhouse and add hot water bucket? I just had this longan in the ground and plan to put a temporary greenhouse over it in the winter in zone ........ 6b 😆

@@jasthuvlog4423 I have a friend in Nebraska that grows Longan, when there's a will there's a way.

Single digits no longer exist in Las Vegas. In fact winters have been getting significantly warmer by the decade. Apparently Las Vegas makes the list for one of the top three fastest warming cities with number one being Reno. Last time it got down to single digits was in 1990 at 11 F. That was at least 30 years ago! If anything, desiccation and extreme heat will more likely kill tropicals in the valley than cold would. Some parts of the valley actually hover between a zone 9b to 10a.

Thank you. I am growing 2 varieties. Kahola and Vietnamese but I certainly can't tell the difference by leaves. I'll try to look it up.

@@GreenMangoes Ok, I have the biew kiew variety here and identifying it by the leaves is difficult.
