[Pil-pc-oceania] Longan Trees in cool temperate regions

[Robyn Williamson]

Hi Fern

I visited a nursery once that specialised in rare and exotic fruits  
but unfortunately they've since moved.  I recall that he had some  
varieties of fruits that were from the mountains in China and  
therefore cold tolerant.  Not 100% sure that Longan was one of them  
but bells are ringing.  Again, not much help but possibly a starting  
point for your own research.  I'll make further enquiries for you  
when I'm back at work next week.

Luv & peas,
Robyn
