Lychee

[GregorK]

Hello.

Few weeks ago i decided I'll try to grow lychee from seed. so i planted a few and i never expected any of them will actually grow but they did. i think eight out of nine

So i was wondering does anyone have any experience growing lychee from seed? I also noticed that the plants are colored differently. any idea why? is it just the different amount of sun they get or anything else?
I would appreciate any info i can get

Regards
Gregor

they are tropical. A friend of mine in Zimbabwe had a tree in his yard. It was at least 40ft tall and 30ft wide.
Good Luck !

I have grown avocado ( most people from Africa have ! ) from a pip, but never litchi....

Yes. Apperently thereneeds to be at least one male and one female plant together, so that they can polinate and grow fruits on it. I know it can grow pretty big.

I am not expecting to grow a large tree since i have nowhere to plant it( outside it would freeze in winter) but i am hoping for some miniature tree inside or maybe in the greenhouse in the future

I have nothing to loose so we will see
