Hi Jeff. I live in zone 9B central Florida. I have a very tiny lot .13..We are planting a mini food forest figs,mulberry,starfruit, bananas to name a few... My question is can you prune lychees to maintain about 6-8 ft…In a pot?…If so what size pot would that be?..I do know these trees get huge. ..Just wondering if this is even possibly on our tiny postage stamp. Thank you for your time.

Hi my lychee plants from seed start great in containers, rich soil, rain water when possible but - leaves turn dry like brown paper. Stopped using fertilizer thought maybe they were burnt… Not looking for fruit just want healthy plants, any idea?

[@MLHPChanel]

Thanks so much for the video. I started my tropical garden this year. Had about 28 fruit trees, i.e logan, lychee, chamoya, jujube, etc. 🌸

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Excellent!🌴😎🌴

[@DayTradingDojo]

Love your videos! Im up in sacramento, so it relates to my growing zone as well. Every time I go to fresno and pass by modesto, I think about your channel. :)

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Excellent! Thanks for watching!

[@lyonheart84]

Like all your trees it looks great Jeff 👍

Nice to see how your air layers are doing, Jeff. I've managed to keep my seedling lychee alive for the time being lol 😂. Unfortunately getting a grafted or air layered one in the UK seemed quite difficult.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Hmmm, I’d think they’d grow them in Spain ?

[@PeterEntwistle]

@@TropicalGardenGuy yeah, they do grow some in Spain. There is one Spanish nursery that I know has them and still does ship to the UK, so I might get one from them in the future. But it is quite a hassle to import them due to new regulations now we aren’t in the EU anymore.

Nice Lychee trees! Best wishes from India! Namastee!

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Thanks!

[@charlesmartin2644]

I have lychee plant in a pot and it is flowering now. But the leaves are brown at the end. I live in Perth, Western Australia. It is spring now, going into summer. I would like to know why the tips of leabes are brown. Thanks

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

I’d say soil conditions or fertilization is the cause. They really don’t like fertilizer or tap water

[@kamnakirpal4786]

Love all the tips u give 🙏

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Thanks for watching!

[@Mochi88981]

What soil should I use when I plant lychee trees in ground? I am living in south california.

[@michaelluna1968]

How deep do you put the fertilizer

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

On soil surface below mulch

[@lorenbush8876]

Which tastes the best lychees, longans, or the Spanish limes which are basically the same as lychees or longans but I don't know about flavor wise. Thanks Jeff

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Taste is quite subjective. I personally like lychees slightly better , but longans are quite tasty as well

[@rethahines5636]

I AM PLANTING LYCHEE TREES IN BURBAN JUST FOR FR THE BEAUTY OF THE LEAVES YOU MEAN THAT TREE IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLDS. THANK FOR YOU VIDEOS RIGHT NN OW SOMETHING ATE ALL THE LEAVES FROM ONE OF THEM

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Yes my tree is not very old

[@hyrulekennels4233]

Are you supposed to cut off the blossoms off young trees until they get bigger?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

They thin themselves

[@alennislopez4162]

I bought a lychee tree in a 3 gallon pot. It already had some branches that had fruit when purchased. Suddenly, the tree started losing its leaves and the little fruit it had are falling out and drying. It started to happen like a month after i bought it. What can I do??? I don't want it to die. Any suggestions. Thank you for your video.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Did u fertilize it? It’s hard to say without seeing conditions etc. When in doubt I often repot it with fresh high quality potting soil.

[@1239marcos]

Did your coconut tree survive winter

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

No

[@1239marcos]

@@TropicalGardenGuy thanks I wanted to know before buying one

[@sn7752]

Holly-tone has NPK of 4-3-4. Nitrogen is still higher than other 2 elements. I have sweetheart in 15 gallon pots. They don't have issues of flowering; however fruit all dropped when they reached pea size. 😞

[@eabradley1108]

I'm wondering the same about the Holly-Tone

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Hmmm, this fruit drop was what I was talking about. I use Hollytone on my tree inground but very little in potted plants

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

If you add npk of moorebloom 0.10.10 to Hollytone 4.3.4 , then you get a total 4.13.14

[@aname7817]

What specific soil do you use?

[@carlosavelar5909]

I like yours videos

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Thanks for watching!🌴😎🌴

[@kathleenferguson3642]

Can a lychee fruit in a pot?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Yes, but they will outgrow the pot quickly

[@kundansinghdhami7523]

Great information dude

Many thanks

[@genarocquodalajr5549]

Would several days in teen temperatures kill a lychee tree?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Yup!

[@Mochi88981]

Do you put sulfur in the ground soil for your lychee tree ?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Yes

[@Mochi88981]

@@TropicalGardenGuyhow much and how often should I put the sulfur ? And how do you test your soil PH level ?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

@@Mochi88981 i just follow instruction on package . But for my large tree I use about 2 cups

[@mattywomp5167]

Do you use low nitrogen on all plants? Any particular reason?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Some plants, like bananas require more nitrogen, but for some reason, adding even average amounts causes my lychees to drop fruit.

[@sn7752]

@@TropicalGardenGuy my lychee fruit all dropped. How did you resolve this issue?

[@rifatalam6544]

Hi I live in Tracy California. I love ur videos. Recently bought a Longan plant from LA. It is in a 25 g pot. But its leaves are scorched and turned brown and fruits buds are prematurely reaped out. Please give me some advice. How can I treat the tree. Thank you.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Hard to say without knowing all the conditions. But I keep weak plants in semi shade while it recovers . No fertilizer and irrigated only when it feels dry

[@rifatalam6544]

Thanks a lot Jeff. I moved it to a morning Sun area. Hope it will work for me.

[@samanthacarbonell4343]

"lai·chee" is how its supposed to be pronounced. 😉

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

😉

[@nirmalasivam2941]

This is how I pronounce is and when I said that in my channel, someone inboxed me to correct me. If it’s leechie, it would be spelt like this. It’s lychee

[@64Magick]

*Where can I purchase some fresh rain water??*

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Comes free from sky

Vietnamese lychee is also very delicious, please support me
