Dimocarpus longan

Bring the taste of the tropics to your backyard with Dimocarpus longan, better known as the Longan or “Dragon Eye” tree. This handsome evergreen is prized for its delicious, translucent fruit and its ability to provide dense, year-round shade.

Longans are famous for their sweet, musky flavor—reminiscent of lychee but with a unique spicy undertone. The fruit features a thin, leathery shell and a single black seed that peeps through the white flesh like an eye. With its rounded canopy and long, glossy deep-green leaves, the Longan is a stunning landscape specimen even when not in fruit.
