Gozp, nice lychee tree. I'm afraid to put mind into the ground since there are so many gophers. Lost a few rose bush, health citrus and loquat trees to the gopher. I have only 1 mango planted into the ground, but only with the container intact and bottom cut open.
cherimoya is the only tree that they won't touch. So all cherimoya are in the grounds.
Sue belle,
i have a few mango outdoor and survive the winter, but struggle a bit. And some are in greenhouse. I think the key is to find a spot that has the most heat all year round. It's advantage to have greenhouse.
agree with Socal, lychee should be easy for everyone. I have some 1yrs seedlings outside in the frontyear unprotected and survive the winter.
Lychee is first time flowers, well see if fruits will be edible size.
