Grafted lychee trees are not something you see often, but for many home gardeners this is the only way to grow the tropical fruit tree. Growing lychee indoors or outdoors isn’t easy and takes a lot of special care, warmth, and sunlight. Your Plant Care Specialist at Nature Touch Farms will be there to help you.

The King of Fruits
The Lychee Tree has it all:

* Attractive ornamental evergreen with Tropical flair
* Delicious fruit with unique taste
* Dense green foliage
* Tolerant Tree, resistant to cold and frost

Lychee Tree: The best kept Ancient Secret

There’s a reason the Lychee Tree has been popular for thousands of years. Actually, there are many reasons. To start with, the tree combines oriental style with tropical beauty and offers one of the most delicious fruits that a gardener can harvest. It’s a slow grower that can achieve heights of more than 40 feet. However, grafted & dwarfed plants will grow to a height of 15 feet, and can be grown to a manageable home garden height of 8 to 10 feet , when pruned or potted. But the Lychee fruit tastes so good you’ll want to keep it within an arm’s reach.

Lush, dark green foliage adds great contrast to the Lychee fruits that hang in bunches like giant, rose colored grapes. The tree is admired both for its tempting fruit as well as the tree’s distinctive visual appeal. This tree is an absolute must for your garden or landscape.

Lychee has the Fruit of your Dreams

If your imagination came up with its own fruit with the perfect flavor, it would be the Lychee. It’s no wonder many Asian restaurants serve them sometimes accompanied by ice cream after a satisfying meal. A rugged outer skin flakes away easily revealing the delicate, velvety fruit that awaits beneath. Bite into the moist, sweet flesh and experience the rush of exotic flavor unique to the Lychee fruit.

So different in taste, the Lychee’s white, somewhat translucent flesh almost defies description. Some say the taste is like combining the flavors of pear, grape and coconut milk all in one fruit. Lychees are easy to prepare and taste delicious when eaten chilled.

Add them to fruit salads or as a wonderful topping on desserts. With flavor this good on such a beautiful tree, isn’t it time you planted your Lychee?

Lychee Tree Pollination
Lychee Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Lychee Tree will drastically increases pollination and the size of your crop.

NOTE: Our grafted lychee plants will start producing fruit in three (3) years and reach maximum production in 5 years.

DELIVERY OPTION: Lychee plants will be delivered islandwide via Knutsford Express.
