I have those two, one is fuyu, the other is a astringent type, prolly hachia. Lately they have been slolely getting yellower(leaves), especially the fuyu. They are also getting some little brown spots/dots, mainly on the oldest leaves, both of them. I am watering every day, they dry up very fast, could this be from lach of nutrients, i am scared to fertilize them, as ive had tremendous fruit and flower drop after fertilization in the past. I gave them a green kristalon leaf spray several days ago. I think i have to repot them also, as those pots are probably way too tight on them, hence the fast drying up. I gave them some iron drench today, hopefully it helps some, planning to repot them somewhere theese days.Ok, how did it work out?
Thanks Shot and Mike T! I was thinking they looked like Erdon Lee but the box said Litchi King.What makes you think they are iradiated? Put it in the ground and give it a try.
Seanny, I’m not going to try to plant the seed because it was from China so probably irradiated but even if it wasn’t, I didn’t like the flavor so much. My daughters love Lychees but they only ate a couple and stopped. Yes they’re huge but I’m a fan of quality over quantity.

Had nematode issues with the roots on mine here in south Florida. Planted from seed last June and put in the ground in August. They were growing slowly through the fall/winter and hanging in there in spring, only to get very wilty and stressed with the early heat of summer.I can never seem to get them to grow from seed. I would like to buy some cuttings from a sweet cultivar.
Thanks FloridaManDan for the info. I have 2 self-fertile varieties are flowering right and set some grapes. Finger crossed, hope the perfect flowers can help pollinated some of the female flowers.I thought all grapes were self fertile. I have several vines so I never considered that having a different variety would help. I learn something new on thei forum every day.Cant offer much advice on fruit set for muscadine, id message the grape master "1rainman"
But all the flowers on that vine appeared female to me. Hopefully some of the 'perfect' flowers develop. good luck.

....Sounds like a gimmick market variety to me.So many of these out there. Man I wishere there was a way to separate the wheat from the chaff on these.
If my NZ Lemonade from four Winds doesn't make it, I am going to order a new one from Madison, for sure. I just wish Madison also had the Yosemite Gold in stock too. I'm hoping to score a few cold hardy trees from Mckenzie Farm this fall that I can plant outside - I'll close to running out of room in my grow tent for this coming winterI have bought from McKenzie. I am not saying do not buy from McKenzie. I don't know hat he has at this point that you can't get online.
I saw a listing on Amazon, of all places, a while back for a silver or silber cultivar that's supposed to be self pollinating.That's the guy. He calls his business something bit I can't remember it.
