Product Name: Feather Leaf Longan (Thai Split-Leaf Longan)

Description:
Feather Leaf Longan, also known as Split Leaf Longan or Double Cap Longan, is a distinct longan variety originating from Thailand. It is prized for its unique feather-like foliage – deeply lobed leaves that resemble feathers, setting it apart from all common longan varieties. This evergreen tree typically grows over 10 meters tall, with robust branches and large, highly branched inflorescences.

Important Note on Fruit Characteristics:

While this variety has been marketed in some channels as a "seedless longan," it is actually a seeded variety – each fruit contains a tea-brown, glossy seed fully enclosed in the fleshy aril. The fruit is nearly spherical with yellow-brown or grayish-yellow skin that is slightly rough in texture. Market feedback on eating quality is mixed: some growers describe the flavor as "quite good" , while others note that yields are low and question its commercial value for fruit production.

Key Considerations for Growers:

• Unique Ornamental Value – The feather-like foliage is the variety's most distinctive feature and primary attraction for collectors and garden enthusiasts

• Not a Commercial Production Variety – Fruit yields are reported to be low, and the deeply lobed leaves may limit photosynthetic capacity

• Seeded, Not Seedless – Buyers should be aware that this is not a seedless variety, despite some marketing claims to the contrary

• Best Suited For – Home gardens, specialty collections, and ornamental planting rather than commercial fresh-fruit orchards

Growing Regions:
Native to Thailand, where it is locally known as Split Leaf Longan or Double Cap Longan. It has been introduced to other tropical and subtropical regions as a novelty variety.

Harvest Season:
Harvest timing is not well-documented in available sources. As a Thai-origin variety, it may align with regional longan seasons, but growers should rely on local observations for accurate timing
