Lychee Season 2025
BurkTheMangoLover:
Both my Sweetheart and Emperor Lychee are blooming. Is anybody else growing these varities? Are yours flowering? Share pics of your trees or of your crops from years past. Is there a variety you prefer? If so, why?

I've got a 9 yr old sweetheart. No flowers this year, however, it's got LEM and it's a losing battle. I think I'm going to rip the poor thing out and put a mango in its spot. The juice ain't worth the squeeze I guess.

Did you try treating it with a concoction of alcohol, soap, and hydrogen peroxide? Worth the try if you have those things and you're pulling it anyway.

Sorry to hear that. How many years has it produced for you? How big is your tree?

Alcohol, soap, and hydrogen peroxide? What is the origin and effectiveness of this mix?
I’ve only read about wettable sulfur and have been using this regularly on my trees. It knocks the mite back for a time.
