Chang Diang Longan (Dimocarpus longan ‘Chang Diang’)

A premium Thai longan cultivar prized for producing exceptionally large, round fruits with smooth yellowish-brown shells, small seeds, and translucent, firm, juicy pulp that delivers an intensely sweet, floral flavor.

Grafted and air-layered trees adapt exceptionally well to home gardens or large container setups, maintaining a compact growth habit and fruiting heavily in just 1 to 2 years compared to 5+ years for seed-grown trees!

Description

Chang Diang Mango (Mangifera indica) grows best in 6–8 hours of direct sunlight and thrives in warm, tropical climates. Water regularly during the early growth stage, allowing the topsoil to dry slightly between watering sessions once established. It prefers fertile, well-drained loamy soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid waterlogging and provide sufficient sunlight and air circulation to support healthy growth and fruit production.

Recommended Planting Method for Best Results

For healthy growth and strong establishment, prepare a 2–3 ft deep pit. If available, place a layer of green leaves at the bottom. Mix 1.5 kg bone meal, 1 kg oil cake, 20 kg raw cow or goat dung, and 100 g urea with an equal quantity of soil, then fill the pit and cover it with soil.

Leave the pit for about one month, watering it daily so the mixture decomposes well. After one month, mix the contents again and add 100 g calcium or dolomite. Wait one more week, then plant the sapling.

If you need to plant immediately and cannot wait for the one-month decomposition period, do not add oil cake or calcium/dolomite; use only the soil, manure, bone meal, and urea mixture for planting.
