plant 2 lychees together advice

[fruit4me]

Hi everybody! Due to the very limited space, I want to plant a sweetheart and a hakip lychee in one hole. Any recomendations on which variety facing which side. Is it evan gonna matter? Thanks.

I have only HakIp but it grows faster than my other one. So I would suggest the HakIp on the east side.

Don't think it matter though. It's not like lychee is a fast grower here. hehe.

I have not eaten that many lychees but they do look similar? So as the branches get intermingled you will start having trouble knowing which ones you are about to pick. So if hakips ripen first, you might end up picking some sweethearts before they are ready. Not an impossible problem. You could tie white ribbons on branches you have identified as being one or the other.
With avocado and mango there are more visual differences

I don't think this is a good idea , I used to do this before ( with other fruit trees where male and female are needed ) and there was always one that grew more vigorous than the other .

Take a look at a mature litchi tree and I think you will change your mind .
