Good reports! I think lychee is going to have to be grown Sebring and north to get good yields now,very low chill anymore south.
I've got blooms forming in the greenhouse but it is way too cold outside to move the plants. What's the forum recommendation? Pick the blooms and hope for a second flourish in spring or what? I have the same problem with my white sapotes.
My Hak Ip was the first to show bloom forming, early January 2022. I haven't seen any on my other varieties yet. Last year they bloomed at the end of January. Myakka City 9b
My Hak Ip in 9B, Winter Garden/Ocoee, has had flowers emerging since late December. I'll be looking to add an Emperor and Kaimana this year, so if anyone has an air layer to sell, let me know. If your willing to trade, my ornamental and edible inventory is very extensive.
I did the Lara Farms bags of ice trick, I am getting mixed blooms. 3 bags of ice (gas station size) per tree spaced 4 to 6 inches from the trunk like the Mercedes symbol on the coldest days of the year starting in Dec. This coming week in So. Fl. I will do it again.
