“Ruby Longan”. Longan is a tropical fruit tree native to Southern China and Southeast Asia, and its scientific name is Dimocarpus longan. However, there is no specific cultivar or variety of longan called “Ruby Longan” that I am aware of.
Longan trees can grow up to 20 meters tall and have a rounded canopy. The leaves are pinnate with 4-8 pairs of leaflets, and the tree produces small, fragrant flowers that are usually pollinated by bees. The fruit is a small, round, reddish-brown drupe with a thin, leathery skin that is easily peeled away to reveal the translucent, juicy flesh and a single brown seed in the center. The fruit has a sweet, musky flavor and is commonly eaten fresh or used in desserts, drinks, and sauces.
Longan trees are grown in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including China, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The trees are relatively easy to cultivate and require well-draining soil, plenty of water, and full sun exposure. Longan trees are also highly valued for their ornamental qualities and are often planted in parks and gardens for their attractive foliage and fruit.
In traditional medicine, various parts of the longan tree have been used to treat insomnia, anxiety, and other ailments. Longan fruits are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, and have been studied for their potential health benefits, including improving immune function and reducing inflammation
