Picked up another sweetheart lychee
« on: January 25, 2021, 08:31:36 PM »
Went and picked up some 25gallon pots at Champa in El monte ca.  for a buddy, and ended up coming home with another sweetheart lychee :) 120 bucks I think its a 15 gallon.  Pot is shorter but wider then the traditional  15 gallon.  he has lots more too chose from like always excellent service from Jimmy and crew.  Hope my other sweetheart doesn't get jealous hahhaah

Can't have too many lychees!
It's always fun to get a new tree with this addiction

Congratulation to another acquisition!

It seems difficult to get a seedless tree.
I've given up.
Any one selling seedless scions in Spring?

My flowering Emperor is asking for a buddy so I might end up with another Emperor.

Any of your lychee flowering?

Check out Ong Nursery in San Diego, they sell a seedless variety. The one I bought from them is forming flower buds. I'm not holding out hope for fruit though.

Do you know if their seedless is San Sue Lin? The large, totally seedless variety?

When I spoke to Quang, he didn't indicate what the source was. He just mentioned that he has 3 seedless trees growing on his farm in Fallbrook.

I think that’s called “late seedless” or something. Not the same as San sue lin. Pretty sure mike will see this soon and reveal more lychee information lol

Hi
My favorite litchi is khom. I have 15 varieties. About 10
never bloom. Isabela, P.R. is too tropical. Every year my amboina bears fruit sweet and sour. Sweet heart is another great litchi.Mauritius too sweet for my taste

Kom is a thick skinned small thai lychee and a heat lover. They are a bit blander than most at maturity. Most evaluations are not flattering. My home town is too warm for over 20 varieties than never fruit also and 3 that do. Amboina is not usually considered a top lychee as it is too sour for most palates.

In Florida, Mauritius have the highest subacid content and are consistently the least sweet (compared to Brewster, Sweetheart,  the "Florida Hak Ip" and Emporer).  I have had some Mauritius grown in the San Diego area qhich are sweeter and less subacid than those grown in Florida.

Hi
I get khom from Jardines eneida. Amboina from Maurice kong. Probably one of this are mislabeled. I only know that all my different trees are reconocible for  growth habit and different leaves. My seedless bear irregular fruits and is a poor producer. The khom and brewster taste very similar. Khom is early and brewster
Have big seeds. Matter of taste!

I’m trying to find out how many Ben’s I need to bring to Ong but no luck so far.
PM me if you know.
