Zone Southern CA, Zone 10 | Anonymous added on November 6, 2024 | Answered

Hi…I read the below article https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/longan-tree/growing-dragons-eye-plants.htm I have a few questions please 1. How many times do you water a week for spring and summer? I don’t water from for fall and winter. Rain is enough 2. I have access to compost and I plant to top dress my longan every month. Is that okay? Thanks
