Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Favorite Lychee Variety

I hope that seedless lychee comes available.  Does anyone know where it can be obtained from?

Thanks guys for the jackfruit input. 

Does Anyone know of the mamey cold tolerance?

I'm curious about any opinions as to which varieties of Mameys or Jackfruits might survive in a location that is barely in zone 10a in Osprey, FL (1/4 mile from Intracoastal waterway).  It is between Sarasota and Venice, FL.

I have been considering Mai 1 Jackfruit.  Or would Black Gold be more realistic?

I have also been considering Pace and Viejo Mamey Sapotes.

Any thoughts?

Brad

Seadation - I wish I could do mangoes. But unfortunately just touching the leaves or sap makes me suffer a PoisOn ivy type skin reaction for about 6 weeks. Jaks probably wouldn't do well this far
North and they're not my favorite. A guy who lives nearby has a Jak tree and it keeps getting damaged down to close to the stump whenever it goes below freezing

Rob - picture a small corner lot in a deed restricted community. All that is
Left is perimeter.  Plus dense orchard
Type planting wouldn't fly with the
Community

Jeff - thanks.  I had no idea the gefner
Got that big.
