Visited the same nursery again yesterday and this time I forked out RM 100 for 3 items: one 6' tall longan tree (RM75), one 3' tall seedless guava tree (RM15) and 4 bags of "good soil" for RM10. At first I was looking for laichi but the guy said laichi isn't suitable in malaysia so he introduced longan which according to him the fruit will be big and the seed is small. 'sweet or not?' was my question to him. He answered: 'very sweet'. So, deal! I was happy with the plant because it has bear quite a number of fruits and they are about the size of guli. Pretty happy with that actually. At home later in the evening, I deepened and widened the hole that I already made a few days ago, poured a bag of so called "good soil" in the hole, followed by the longan tree. I emptied another three bags of soil surrounding the based of the tree and applied some pressure to consolidate the soil.
I did the same to the guava tree. Soaking the soil with plenty of water was the last thing I did before I went in my house for dinner.
