50/50 odds for a large order and big $$$ does make your butt pucker. aPersonally I would like the whole lot. The number of seeds etc. could be worked out if I'm not too late. Thank you, Chris

You got it Sam! They will (or should) grow quickly. I just noticed my tree is full of emerging flowers. Good luck. Chris

Spaugh, why plant some Eucalyptus on your borders for wind protection? Most of the Avocado groves east of Irvine have old gum trees planted for just that. It may help to create your own microclimate. Chris

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: What's your choice for a medium, lightweight bypass lopping shear, 20" or 30"?

Great topic. I wish I had known about the Corona pruners and loppers back in the day when I purchased mine...I have never been happy with them. Time for a change! Thanks and good luck to all. Chris

« on: April 15, 2017, 02:32:32 AM »
You would be shocked to see how beautiful Cal. Tropics Lychee trees are...even IF you don't have an extra 10k in your wallet (that day). I was super impressed. They also have a Jaboticaba grove (In ground) as well! Yes they are overpriced, but still impressive nonetheless. Chris

Bananaizme, I believe they are stocked up on Jack's mid-summer. "Act of futility or death"...Nice! Great line, good comedy (even though it's totally true). Good luck! Chris

Also, I remember Mimosa in Anaheim having 24" boxed Lychees (can't recall if they were sweethearts) that were pretty nice for about $1,000 give or take. Chris

Hey Simon- Cal Rare Fruit Trees in Vista has 12 footers (I believe they said over 20 years old) for $10,000++. Lots of them in fact. I know they are outrageously overpriced but they are beautiful specimens. At minimum, its a nice place to walk around. Chris

« on: March 30, 2017, 02:12:07 AM »
Just leave them alone (and well watered) in part shade for a couple weeks until they get acclimated and then figure out what size pot you need. It really doesn't matter the species of tree involved. Chris

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: should I or shouldn't I top this Mauritius Lychee tree
« on: March 24, 2017, 01:40:05 AM »
I wouldn't top the lychee. If it survived the beheading, it would take forever to form a decently shaped tree...let alone fruit. I agree with Cookie. Chris
