Are Lychees really that weak against wind?

[eez0]

My backyard is somewhat windy as there are no buildings neither at the right nor at the left side, so it's a perfect corridor for the wind to pass freely. Let's say on normal windy days, maybe averages are about 30Km/h, with gusts which can double that speed.

I have read lychees are too weak to wind, but I have seen videos of trees in the wild, or even planted in front-yards, so they're really exposed... and they are thriving. So, that makes me wonder, are Lychees really that weak to wind?

I'd like to plant one in my backyard, but I don't want to cover it with some strong shielding. I want to see my tree! xD

It can handle a lot of wind and very dry wind even.
