As said in my comments...Yes Sonia,that is a longan.<br />As said in my comments,<br />Mata Kuching is the local malay name for all longans.<br />The real local variety (mata kuching) is not like what u planted. U've planted longan, but called it like the locals do, mata kuching. But here, all longans are genericly called mata kuching.WendyinKK https://www.blogger.com/profile/08266961453200555850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647782977981359400.post-83715414034392921772010-01-24T12:57:48.329+08:002010-01-24T12:57:48.329+08:00I loveeeee mata kuching!! your mata kuching really...I loveeeee mata kuching!! your mata kuching really look juicy and huge!! my mom planted few trees at her front yard but have no fruit..Must leanr from your hubby kung -fu!!My Asian Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00232672470428482604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647782977981359400.post-25198283773671205982010-01-24T12:27:09.861+08:002010-01-24T12:27:09.861+08:00Sonia..how u fertilize the Longan tree??

I think due to one of my deleted comments, to clarify more..<br />This is indeed longan, but called mata kuching by locals due to the similarity to the real local variety.. In KL, u can see many Malay street vendors selling air mata kucing, which is actually dried longan infusion. The chinese dried longans :)So, u see, the local name for longans is mata kuching, altho from pomiculture point of view, mata kuching is longan, but longan is not mata kuching.<br />A tiger is a cat, but a cat is not a tiger.<br /><br />Grrr... I'm being so long winded, but I just get long winded when issues like this come by, just like bayam and spinach issue. Or taro with yam.WendyinKK https://www.blogger.com/profile/08266961453200555850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647782977981359400.post-40763446973154103032010-01-23T22:58:39.464+08:002010-01-23T22:58:39.464+08:00incidentally my uncle just asked me last week whet...incidentally my uncle just asked me last week whether i want to plant mata kucing or not since he has the 'baby' plants. i was hesitant as am afraid the tree will grow too large. maybe now i shld rethink :)petite nyonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03159708832268114982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647782977981359400.post-74354274490168184702010-01-23T22:49:25.309+08:002010-01-23T22:49:25.309+08:00The fruit looks so juicy...

Prof Wong, ...According to the link Sonia provided, <br />Prof Wong, one of my lecturers in Uni, the longan doesn't fruit in Malaysia, of which is quite true. I've seen longan trees older than me never ever fruit, even if they flower, the flowers just never fruit. When I was small, I asked my parents why they never plant longan at home, cos we have 3 mango trees, they told me, longan never fruits in Malaysia. It's recently trees (trees planted less than 15 years ago) that are beginning to fruit. BTW there are even apples and yellow lemons in Sabah. *Roll eyes*<br />Agriculture technology is getting better and better. That's all I can say.<br /><br />:)A summary from the link is : Mata Kuching is a type of longan but longan is not a type of mata kuching. <br /><br />Longan is not a local fruit, therefore, the locals might have used a local name mata kuching, which is the real local variety, to call the longan which is similiar but not the same. <br />Example: Kangkung as we know here, are called Morning Glory in some neighbouring countries (From what I read in in the internet). We will not call it morning glory because we have a definate local name for it. But for people in other countries, it looks similiar, and scientifically, its genus is the same, Ipomea. So, others call it morning glory.<br /><br />Hope I'm not talking too much and I hope this clears the confusion, Longan or Mata Kuching.<br /><br />Oh BTW, sarawak mata kuchings are not found here, same goes for limau bintangor. Of which my friend calls pomelo, but to us peninsulans, that is no pomelo, pomelo is way way biggerWendyinKK https://www.blogger.com/profile/08266961453200555850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647782977981359400.post-63859666712357970572010-01-23T21:43:40.100+08:002010-01-23T21:43:40.100+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.WendyinKK https://www.blogger.com/profile/08266961453200555850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647782977981359400.post-56261991953030280002010-01-23T21:02:56.220+08:002010-01-23T21:02:56.220+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.WendyinKK https://www.blogger.com/profile/08266961453200555850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647782977981359400.post-56194249821043902032010-01-23T20:05:31.053+08:002010-01-23T20:05:31.053+08:00I thought mata kuching was more bumpy.
