Editing Longan (section)

=== Growth ===
Longan, like its sister fruit lychee, thrives in humid areas or places with high rainfall, and can grow on most types of soil that does not induce issues with water drainage.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1079/9781845936723.0000 |title=Tropical fruits, Volume 1 |date=2011 |isbn=9781845936723 |editor-last=Paull |editor-first=R. E. |doi=10.1079/9781845936723.0000 |editor2-last=Duarte |editor2-first=O.}}</ref> Ample temperatures are also instrumental in longan growth: while longan can resist small stretches of cool temperatures, they can be damaged or killed in longer stretches of temperatures as high as −2 degrees Celsius. Younger plants tend to be more vulnerable to the cold than those more mature.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Blancke |first=Rolf |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.7591/9781501704284 |title=Tropical Fruits and Other Edible Plants of the World |date=2017-03-17 |isbn=9781501704284 |doi=10.7591/9781501704284}}</ref>
