You just need to fly there and sit in a covid quarantine for 2 weeks then go shopping. Small price to pay lycheelust. Someone needs to step up and take one for the team...
There is a compelling case for not throwing the Californian lychee realm into turmoil. Commercial growers have invested a lot into establishing the existing varieties and there are many mature trees. Not sure they would take kindly to these blow ins from overseas.
You had better line a nursery up to keep some aside as they are all being snapped up pretty fast. Spaugh you need to take 6 or 7 for the team, then madly propagate and hoard. I am sure you would be popular in the lychee community and have a lot more friends than you realised. You could drip feed them out.

Highly motivated people with a skill for acquisition sometimes are ahead of the pack.
So long as it's at least nine tenths of the law.
Just to prove I am no joker and it had lots of garlic butter and herbs under the skin.No Erdon Lees are big and that handsome paw is my hand in the pix. LL I could book a one way ticket for Mrs Erdon Lee or Mrs Sue San-Lin from Cairns to LA and leave it in a wheelchair at the airport with the ticket. A hat, balaclava and blanket as well as sunglasses would work. What could possibly go wrong if someone picks it up from the airport?BTW the accident was we don't have thanksgiving here.
It aint no jive turkey. I have it on good authority The Lin's and Lees are making their way to the US by other means than me and may just pop up anywhere.
Well lychee fans I found myself strolling around the Gordonvale monthly market this morning admiring the local produce. I was contemplating the new lychees including chompogo which reputedly has very large fruit of great taste and it is a heavy bearer by all accounts and then I saw it. The last chompogo lychee for sale and a big healthy marcotted plant for around $US28.I allowed a more committed purchaser to jump in and swoop on this last one. It looks like this lychee variety is officially in circulation now.
Sorrh that should have read little if any difference between the Erdon Lee and it's seedlinv. Seedling is now called Lee
