Logan Berry - Euphoria longana - commonly known as the Longan, is a tropical tree native to South and Southeast Asia.
The Logan Berry tree can grow up to 20 to 25 feet in height, and the plant is very sensitive to frost. Longan trees require sandy soil and temperatures that do not typically go below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Longans and lychees bear fruit at around the same time of the year.The Longan translated literally as "dragon eye" is so named from its transliteration from Amoy because its fruit, when it is shelled, resembles an eyeball (the black seed shows through the translucent flesh like a pupil/iris). The seed is small, round and hard, and of an enamel-like, lacquered black.
