Description
LYCHEE TREE FLOWER
- Mauritius’ originates in southern China, but it is named for the island off the southeast coast of Africa where extensive commercial plantings have been in production for decades. It is the variety of choice for commercial growers in Florida because it is a regular and heavy producer. The fruit is sweet, pink to red, and produces chicken tongue seeds in about one out of ten fruit
- The tree you are buying is in a 3-gal pot. It should be watered every day, about 1/2 a gal of water. When you see the water overflowing from the bottom pot, it means you are putting too much water. The tree can be planted on the soil immediately. You still need to water it every day
- Sweet and juicy with a rose fragrance Lychee’s are considered the King of fruit. With its rough, scaly outer skin, lychee’s shape is compared to a strawberry and ripens very fast from green to a beautiful bright red exterior. The fruit itself resembles a grape and can have a seed in the middle which is removed before eating this luxurious fruit

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant in any area that receives 6 hours of direct sun each day. Well-drained soil is also important for your Honeycrisp. From there, dig a hole that's twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Then, place the plant, tamp down your soil and water to settle. Finally, mulch around the area to prevent weed growth.
2. Watering: Your Honeycrisp Apple will benefit from a regular watering each week. When the tree is in a dormant state, only provide enough water to keep the soil slightly moistened. As soon as you see newer growth emerging from the tree, you can water whenever the top 2 inches of the soil feels dry or in times of drought.
3. Pruning: Once your tree has become established and is starting to bear fruit, it will need some periodic, moderate pruning. Only prune the tree during times of dormancy, making sure to remove any vigorous, upright stems and weak, damaged or dead branches. Low-hanging, droopy branches should also be removed. Pruning aids production, so it's great for your tree!

Mauritius lychee TREE Air layered (3-4 Feet Tall) Lychee tree flower
Java Green
Sunlight
Fruit Java Green trees flourish with a minimum of six hours of daily sunlight. Consistent exposure ensures healthy growth, vibrant blossoms, and bountiful fruit. Prioritize sunny spots to maximize their potential.
Watering
Only provide enough water to keep the soil slightly moistened when your tree is in dormancy. As soon as you see newer growth emerging from the tree, you can water whenever the top 2 inches of the soil feels dry.
Fertilizing
Feed your tree with 5-10-10 fertilizer per label instructions but only start after they begin growing steadily. We recommend spreading your fertilizer a few inches away from the tree's trunk.
Care guide
1. Planting the Tree
• Choose the Right Spot: Select a location with well-draining soil, plenty of sunlight (6-8 hours daily), and adequate air circulation.
• Soil Preparation: Test the soil pH (ideal range is 6.0–7.0 for most fruit trees). Amend with compost if necessary.
• Planting: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper. Position the tree so the graft union is above the soil line. Backfill with soil, tamp gently, and water thoroughly.
2. Watering
• Young Trees: Water deeply once or twice a week during dry spells to establish roots.
• Established Trees: Water less frequently but deeply, especially during dry periods or fruit development.
3. Pruning
• Timing: Prune in late winter or early spring when the tree is dormant.
• Method: Remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches. Shape the tree to allow sunlight and air circulation.
• Tip: Learn specific pruning techniques for your tree variety (e.g., open-center for peaches, central leader for apples).
4. Fertilizing
• Frequency: Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) in early spring and again in mid-summer if needed.
• Avoid Overfertilizing: Too much nitrogen can encourage leafy growth at the expense of fruit.5. Pest and Disease Control
• Monitor Regularly: Look for signs of pests (e.g., aphids, codling moths) or diseases (e.g., powdery mildew, rust).
• Natural Solutions: Use neem oil, insecticidal soap, or introduce beneficial insects like ladybugs.
• Preventive Measures: Keep the area under the tree free of fallen fruit and leaves to reduce pests and diseases.6. Mulching
• Apply 2-4 inches of organic mulch (e.g., wood chips, straw) around the base to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
• Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.7. Thinning Fruits• Thin fruits when they’re small (marble size) to improve fruit size and prevent branch breakage.
• Spacing: Leave 4–6 inches between fruits on apples and pears; 6–8 inches for peaches.8. Harvesting
• Timing: Harvest fruits when they’re ripe, based on color, firmness, and flavor. Overripe fruits may attract pests.
• Handle Gently: Use care to avoid bruising the fruit.9. Winter Protection
• Protect young trees from freezing temperatures by wrapping the trunk with tree guards or burlap.
