🌱 Longan Tree (Dimocarpus longan) – Growing Guide

The longan tree is a subtropical to tropical fruit tree, closely related to lychee. It is valued for its sweet, juicy fruit and is more cold-tolerant than lychee, but still requires warm growing conditions to fruit well.

✅ WHERE IT GROWS BEST

• USDA Zones 10a – 11b (Ideal)

  • South Florida

  • Hawaii

  • Warm coastal areas of Southern California

• USDA Zone 9b (Possible)

  • Can tolerate light, short frost

  • Requires frost protection during cold spells

  • Fruit production may vary by location and winter conditions

❌ WHERE IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED

• USDA Zone 9a and below (Zones 1–9a)

• Areas with:

  • Repeated freezes or extended cold periods

  • Winter temperatures regularly below 28°F (-2°C)

➡️ In these regions, longan trees may survive but rarely flower or fruit, and cold damage is likely.

☀️ GROWING REQUIREMENTS

• Full sun for optimal growth and fruiting

• Well-draining soil

• Warm summers and mild winters encourage flowering

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
