Taste, season, cold, and how to plant this one.
- Taste
- The Florida standard lychee: fragrant, sweet, and worth growing even when the seed is larger than an Emperor's.
- Ripens
- May and June in a year the winter cooperated.
- Zones
- Zones 10 to 11.
- Hardiness
- More proven in Florida yards than most lychee names. Young trees still scorch in a freeze and drop fruit if they dry out.
- Size
- Eventually a large tree, 25 feet or more. The 7-gallon is the practical start.
- Tips
- Water consistency is the whole game for the first three summers. A wilted lychee drops leaves and your patience.
- Pollination
- Self-fruitful.
