Introduction to growing longan

Longan is made from fresh longan dried in the sun. There are more longans in the south, more longans in the Central Plains and the north, and more longans in Guangxi.

How many years does it take for longan trees to bear fruit?

After longan trees are planted, they need to be maintained for 3-4 years before they can bear fruit. If cared for carefully, it will form an early-yielding canopy with a well-developed root system and begin to produce small amounts of fruit. It enters the high-yield period after about 4-5 years and lasts for 20-30 years.

Grafted longan will bloom and bear fruit

Longan will bloom and bear fruit after 3-4 years of grafting and maintenance. During the seedling stage, vegetative growth must be properly controlled to achieve proper fruiting while promoting the continuous development and expansion of the crown and root system.

Potted longan bears fruit

Whether potted longan bears fruit depends on the planting method. The reason for the lack of fruit may be that the ability to absorb water and nutrients is reduced after potting, and the maintenance environment is dark, which is prone to problems such as weak tree vigor, slow growth, and no fruit.

Why longan does not bear fruit

There are many reasons why longan does not bear fruit, which need to be analyzed from different aspects, such as differences in longan varieties. Some varieties are not suitable for local cultivation and are difficult or even impossible to bear fruit. Secondly, it is not properly maintained at ordinary times. For example, there is no reasonable pruning of branches and leaves, no scientific water and fertilizer management, no cultivating, weeding and soil loosening, and no pest control.
