Sri Chompoo Longan Tree
This is a very good variety from Thailand with crispy texture. Chompoo, or Sri-Chompoo, is a mid-season longan cultivar. The fruit is of medium size, oval in shape and with greenish light brown skin. The seed is small and the aril (flesh) is thick and slightly pink and thus the name 'Chompoo' meaning pink. It is very sweet and has a pleasant aroma. The cultivar is normally grown in the northern provinces of Thailand, where the cool winter months are necessary for induction of flowering.
