Growing Lychee, Longan, Rose Apple, & Wax Apple | LIVESTREAM

[@Mrbfgray]

When I want clear strong objective experienced advice for plants this is top tier. Been using a lot of DG (actually crushed granite) lava and other 'sands' mixed with fine native loam, for my avocado plantings and other sub-tropicals over last 20 months, largely based on Gary's instruction, they've been mostly thriving. Mulching mostly with wood chips, leaves, etc., at least several inches deep.

Pro trick: you can watch movies on instaflixxer. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@reignalden8056]

@Noe Cameron yup, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :)

[@rogeliosalvador7857]

@Noe Cameron yup, I have been using instaflixxer for since december myself :)

[@bjornhoffmann6008]

Lychee also sensitive to blistering heat (especially while bagged or potted) and they hate the wind

[@onememories8523]

Great video! Thank you for sharing. Can you please go into the different between the carmen and gem avacado (because I thought in one video you said the best was the gem)? Thank you.

How long do these Rose apple trees take to fruit? I bought 2 from you today.

[@elsaanndo7720]

Should I water the wax apple when it has flowers? How about Asian grape fruits? All the flowers fall off my Asian grapefruits is it bc I watered while the flower blooming? Thanks

[@judytang8591]

I live in Lake Forest California , I have a lychee tree for almost 6 years, it has a lot flowers but somehow more than 90 percent of flowers drop, I wondered what is the reason why

[@geriannroth449]

How would you compare an airlayered Lychee/longan to a grafted lychee/longan in terms of productivity & being quicker to bear fruit.

[@gahgah4866]

Hi sir, can I grow the longan tree in San Jose, CA?

[@geriannroth449]

Where can you purchase your top soil from I'm in Barbados West Indies can it be exported here?

[@geriannroth449]

How do you propagate Suriname cherry from cuttings? Do you sell & ship scions internationally?

[@geriannroth449]

What's the name of that book you're referencing from?

[@SanaKhan-wm7pl]

Do I need acidic soil for lychee plant?

[@bobc.8224]

Lychee fruit trees don't like much nitrogen, it will burn the leaves, use very little nitrogen. They like lots of sun to produce flowers. My lychee is only 2 years old and is 5' tall by 4' wide. Also Longan is much taller than 6' tall by 3' wide, there is lots of variety of lychees fruit trees. I'm in Florida on the west side in Parrish.

Do Lychee have chill requirements?

[@GarysBestGardening]

It does seem like they require a bit of chill. The literature states that they rarely fruit in truly tropical climates. Most locations where they perform well have periods below 55 degrees F. in winter. Winter "chill" is best defined as accumulated hours between 34 degrees and 55 degrees F., not 34 to 45 degrees as listed often.

[@melvinbrown3461]

Do I need to have two lychee trees for them to produce because I only have one and it's not producing,thank you for your reply

[@fth1013]

[@wandamartinez680]

[@Ryin88]

hard to hear the customer questions My longan fruit are super small. Once you break the shell on the fruit, its all seed with just a thin film of fruit. Any tips?

[@Mrbfgray]

Graft or get a different variety, pardon butting in but he doesn't seem to reply here often. Pretty sure (as an amateur gardener no experience with longans) that's a genetic condition.

[@Ryin88]

@@Mrbfgray gotcha thanks !

[@jonng4101]

Hi. I’m interested in planting a lychee tree. But I live in Dallas TX. My question is can it be grown successfully in ground here in Dallas TX? Winter below 25 degree sometimes and heat can be over 100 degree. Will it live and bear fruit? Thanks

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

jon ng I doubt it. Can you grow oranges and avocados? Litchi are less hardy than these. I see damage at 30f

[@tarahall82]

In Dallas you have to be able to move the citrus into the garage, greenhouse or garden shed for the winter. Mine have been growing for over 3 years with the current ones I have.
