Those are HUGE!! Almost the size of an orange ...
I am a little turned off by the rose scent. Does it have a rose flavor too? I would like to hear some flavor reports. Not that I could grow it anyways. It doesn't get cold enough. Low 50s is our freezing winter.

That is actually perfect winter temperatures for lychee. Where are you in Kauai that you get such low temperatures? Or maybe that temperature was a typo? Or are you above 2000 ft. elevation?

I should make it a priority to measure the number of hours. They make those thermometers that can plot the temperature over time. I figured it wasn't enough chill hours, because they only market Emporer, Bosworth-3, and Kaimana, so I figured those must be low chill hour varieties....
