Thanks Murahilin, since I own the tree I don't regret planting Mauritius...I've grown to love the taste.
Picked most of them today after finding a bunch of knocked down Clamshells lychees gone

on the ground, between the wind and the varmints I didn't want to lose anymore.


Pau, pick a variety you like the taste of and plant that one...All I know about Lychees is they LOVE water. I made sure they had a lot of water especially the first couple of years. I fertilized mine once a month "lightly" from early March through October...since you live in California, you might be able to ask some of the people that grow them there, our climate is a little different so what works for me may or may not work for you...Best of luck! Might be worth a try planting another
