Rootstock is diamond river, there used to be mature tree removed by previous home owner when she sold the home, the root suckers keep coming back. I grafted Mauritius over it and it's been about 2 months plus so union must be well fused by now.
Thanks for the tip Behl, I'll definitely give it a shot. If a Hanging Green or NMT graft on Kohala works, I'll be a very happy man. Simon
I know sweetheart sucks in growth and then production, specially here in So. Cal."I really hope that's not entirely true. My small sweetheart planted six months ago is holding two little fruits. I'm planning to graft it to my longans when it get bigger. My Mauritius didn't take off in growth until about three to four years. The sweetheart fruits looks very similar to the Hakip(Florida) lychee that I fruited from my potted tree last year. Sweetheart lychee treeSweetheart lychee fruits. Very excited to try this variety. The tree was purchased from Mimosa nursery in LA
hiIn my greenhous ;Lychee grafted onto Longan
Hey Behl, is that another branch you have close to your pushing scion? Barath, that is super cool, is it easier using seedling as rootstock or is that an air layer you are grafting onto? Simon
How long ago was yours grafted. What variety is the lychee and longan rootstock? Thanks for posting.
Boy am I jealous! Those could be air layered and sold. If you can pump them out, there should be some demand for them, especially if you can get Emperor grafts to work on Longan. I bookmarked this thread. Love the updates Behl, keep them coming!Simon
