The tree grows quite slowly. Fruits appear at least 8 years from the start of planting.
How to grow lychees correctly
At first they began to be grown throughout Southeast Asia, where there was a climate required by the fruit.
Lychees are thermophilic, but do not like excessive moisture, so the best conditions for them are the subtropics.
Make a small depression in the ground and place the seed there, root side down, and cover with soil.
Lightly compact the surface of the soil with your fingers.
After this, moisten the soil generously with water at room temperature.
When does lychee begin to bear fruit
True, the first fruits from the purchased seedling should be expected only in the 4th-5th year (from the seed - in the 8th-12th year), but the undertaking is worth it.
Lychee fruits are widely used in the production of fruit salads, smoothies, compotes, fruit drinks, marshmallows, confitures and even sweets, giving them an exquisitely piquant taste.
