look , they are the longan trees I planted for you

we came to Shatian Zhen , Gaozhou , Maoming today

the mountains are covered with longan trees here

let's go picking some

no one will stop you

so big . bigger than lychee

longans that are bigger than lychee ? yes

how big is the forest ? I don't know but so many longan trees here

all you can see here is longan trees

this is also the longan tree. all the directions

include him ? no

longan trees down there

all the trees are longan trees here

they are everywhere in Gaozhou

why are longans better than those produced elsewhere ?

sweet and crunchy

you can't stop eating them

all the trees are old ? yeah

how old are they ? 30 or 40 years

how is the yield this year ? good

we have the high yield every year . really ? yes

I have been growing longans for more than 10 years .

how can you get the quality longans ?

you need to feed them well. --what feed ?

chicken shit and artificial feed. -- the mixture of them

you need to thin them when flowering. --- is it a hard job ? -- not really

I tried to show her hard work but she said it wasn't hard

the weather is comfortable when thinning them

yeah . --- it is also easy to pick them. they will droop naturally

what is the best timing to pick them ? when you pick them

what is the specific time ?

autumn. -- what is the specific time ? the 7th or 8th lunar month ? --- yeah

there is not the fixed time. it depends on when they will go ripe . ---yeah

I know why she said it was easy to pick longans. they are so low

it is so beautiful

are they chuliang (the species )? yes

can you hold it for me ? I would like to get some

what is good about longans ?

they won't cause internal heat in your body . --- lychee will lead to internal heat . but you can eat whatever longans you want

they are beautiful

they are money hanging on the trees

it is home to longans. stuff myself with longans today

there are two species of longans ? yeah

shixia and chuliang

I am sorry . I have difficulty understanding the dialect

is this chuliang ? yes

can I pick some ? yeah

don't eat too many at a time . they are so sweet

it is beautiful . it looks like lychee

the flesh is crystal with the black seed in the center

you got the silver tongue

the juice will pop out in your mouth

longans are everywhere

the happiness from harvesting

what a big bundle. how heavy is it ? -- about 1kg

they are so pretty . big and plump

can I pick them ? yes . just pick if you wanna try

it is so sweet

the longans get ripe at different time . I can't take you to check them all

it is juicy and sweet. -- help yourself

she told us they went ripe at different time . so the longans taste a little different

but the ripe ones are big, sweet and juicy

much sweeter than those small and unripe

pick the ripe ones

the picking time can last for a while , which is different from lychee

they look like walls

is this shixia (the species )? yes

they are relatively smaller than chuliang

it is different

we are on a different hill

I was wondering whether the species was worth the long walk from that hill to this one because I heard they were similar

but it is worth all the effort . the longan is different

it is sweeter

you will feel a little rich if you eat many chuliang longans but you won't get the feel for shixia longans /. they are refreshing

I sweated a lot. I pickled the two piles

the yellowish is chuliang and the greenish is shixia

I have tried them on the mountain. make the comparison now

shixia longan has more juice in it

but chuliang gets the texture of jelly

shixia is like young chicken, chuliang is old hens

I prefer shixia

chuliang is the specialty here ? yeah

the mother tree is in Xinghua village . it is in Gaozhou

so all the chuliang longan tress are from the mother tree ? yes

is the mother tree still alive now ? yes

how old is it ? I don't know

add the chuliang longans in the country are from the mother tree

two longan areas in Gaozhou : shatian and fenjie

fenjie is where chuliang longan trees grow

they are ancient

shatian got the bigger scale

it says the first generation

the tree on the other side is the second generation

what generation are the trees in shatian ? the first

people planted the longan trees long time ago

we were told the trees were about 30 or 40 years old

they were planted in 1980s. they are as old as me

the two kinds of longans are available in our online shop

search Pinchengji chenxuan on Taobao then longans and you can get them
