TRADE: Hak Ip Lychee seeds
« on: May 23, 2013, 08:09:21 PM »
Just got 10 pounds of Hak Ip Lychee and have been wolfing them down.  I can only plant so many seeds and the rest are up for grabs.  PM me with any offer.

Be very careful as almost all Hak Ip seeds are a form of "chicken tongue", or abortive, seeds and most likely will not be viable.  In addition, the viable seeds have a very short viability period, approximately a week or so.

In addition, unless you are in for growing a tree with a 10 year or so (possibly up to 20 years or so) wait to see how it turns out, growing a lychee seed may be more of a waste of space and time.  Grafting is not a recommended form of propagation; most lychee trees are air layered.
