    I was lucky enough to acquire this tree on my property, its 30+ feet tall, and i am in love with it.
    This is its first season in my possession and some steady fertilization has really payed off!

    If you've never eaten a Lychee, they are similar to a sweet tart candy, and fresh from the fridge they are a real treat.

    I have began to air layer the lower limbs and i am very excited about propagating this amazing tree.
    I will add some photos of the air layering and the trees body as soon as i can.

    far as i know, definitely not outside. Can not handle frost @ all. I am in zone 10. If you have indoor accommodations i think you can do it.
