Lychee grafted onto Longan?
simon_grow:
Great updates everyone. Many experiments end up giving results that are not positive. The sample sizes are pretty small but early results seem to point towards a thumbs down for this type of grafting.
For those of us with less than ideal soil conditions such as higher pH soil, it may be wise to plant a Brewster or Mauritius and top work the tree with the desired variety.

I agree, it is much easier for me to graft any variety on my large Brewster tree, then air layer that branch to take it off to a separate pot. I've got 10 air layers started, now that I know how to do it better than the first time tried air layers (3 out of 12 good).

I'll have to be happy with just longan. Phoenix 8.x pH soil, water and heat is just too much for any lychee variety.

What I can't understand is how Lychees can thrive in Israel.
