The ping pong ball sized fruits grow together in big clusters. Longkong peel does not have sticky latex like Lanzones/ Langsat. Which one is sweeter is debatable, but the sweetest taste without sourness is Longkong, while Langsat can be sweet or sour, but the sweet Lanzones have a unique fragrant taste that seems to be absent in the LongKong.

The flesh is clear, sweet, or sweet-sour. Height: Longkong trees are 10 to 15 meters tall. Langsat: The skin of the langsat fruit is thin, with soft hair, and has a yellow color.

Longkong Names Scientific name: Lansium domesticum English: Langsat, Longkong Dutch: Langsat, French: Longkong German: Langsat, Lansibaum, Longkong Other names: Lansone, Lansones. LongKong trees prefer moist, fertile soil and high relative humidity for best growth. Since they are slow growing, they are often interplanted with other fruit trees. Plants are slow growing and may take more than 10 years to fruit. They require tropical conditions, and will grow from sea level to 2,400 feet (732 m) elevation. Seedling trees may take 10-30 years or more to fruit, while grafts or air layers can fruit in 5-6 years with good care. Young plants may prefer a little shade. Young trees should have 50% shade for the first 2-3 years. Larger plants can take full sun. Best with some protection from wind. Plants can tolerate some drought once established but prefer a steady supply of moisture. Lansium domesticum may be propagated by seeds, cuttings, air layers or grafting. Seeds must be planted fresh, as they lose viability rapidly if allowed to dry out. Germination occurs in 2-3 weeks, and the seedlings are slow growing. Trees may be grafted at about 1 year of age, or when the trunk is about the diameter of a pencil. They can be grafted by cleft, side veneer, bud, or approach. Outdoors in Zones 10B and 11. All good things take time, so I grow my plants and rare palms in. Much more to check out or just get a little education on in my store. All items are delivered to USDA Inspection Station at Honolulu International airport. Please spend no more more than you can lose! The additional charge for any Phytosanitary Certificate is not included in this offer. This can only be done at the Dept. Combined Discounts Won Auctions. I can’t really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount much as each different species requires it’s own prep, packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. The whole next day we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand. After you Receive your Items. When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it. It is your responsibility to know how to care for the plant. Do some research before they arrive or seek experienced help. Small plants need protection from many things, wind, sun, dry-out. They do well just in the garage or living room. They need good light but not sunlight (full sun will burn small plants). Small pots dry-out easily. Just sitting in a shallow tray of water works well. The idea is to keep the plants from dehydrating. Be careful if you decide to re-pot. Plants are easily damaged with new/different mix. Use NO fertilizers (this may kill your plants). Proper care is critical upon arrival. Live Plants are NOT GUARANTEED to survive under your care. DO NOT expect any live plant to be GUARANTEED to remain alive.

Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. M a h a l o & A l o h a!
