« on: November 09, 2020, 05:54:27 AM »
Indeed they are something special and can be very ornamental which is why I have collected
more than 100 different species / varieties so far and I haven't even scratched the surface

« on: August 23, 2020, 10:09:35 PM »Does anyone know if it has reached India yet? I am out fruit hunting summer next year, besides mangoes and superior variety Jamun, i will be looking for lychee varieties there.
I have plenty of contacts in India who will want this when they find out I have it and when their postal service is up and running again

« on: August 23, 2020, 05:14:10 PM »They get pretty bigI need to get some of these.
Does it require a lot of cold stimulus to fruit?
SE florida didn't get much cold these days so hopefully it a more "tropical" friendly one
They need some cold stimulation but hopefully will still bear in the tropics

You could leave them in pots until they are a bit bigger or you could plant them in the ground but you'll need to baby them through the
wet season for the first year .I have 150 3 year old seedlings in pots that are between 20 and 50 cm tall and their growth is relative to
the care they've received .You can come and check them out some time if you like
