LYCHEE (Litchi Chinensis) PB3 30cm
These delicious fruit will be familiar in their canned form to many of you.They can be grown here in NZ, so you can taste the superior fresh fruit, but they have very particular climatic requirements. They like a warm humid climate, but then require a cool dry autumn in order to fruit. Cool winters are alright, but not more than -2, and not for prolonged periods. They are less fussy about soil, but do best in a light soil. It is a good idea to protect them from too much rain while they establish, but never let them dry out. Keep sheltered from wind and sun, and fertilise regularly with high nitrogen and potassium manure during spring and summer. The trees have handsome glossy leaves, and the fruit are borne in long panicles.They are self fertile. These are grown from seed so it will be quite a few years before any fruit can be expected.

The black mulberry is said to be the sweetest of all. The fruit is large and the trees are easy to grow.

The trees grow quickly and are not fussy about soil, but should not be allowed to dry out. They can be grown in containers or open ground. They can also be kept pruned to a suitable size for small gardens. Self fertile.
