Lychee - Kwai May Pink (B3) (Grafted) 10/10Kate816's Edible FruitsUpdate: 399 days 6hrs Comments: - This lychee is doing awesome in the ground. Turns out they like slightly acidic soil, so it's been planted next to our blueberry hedge to take advantage of the work already done to acidify that area. It suffered shock and stress when we first planted it, lost all its leaves and appeared dormant over Christmas, however it's green, leafy, happy and thriving now. Still too little t produce, but it attempted to fruit last year (kept our local bees happy!) but dropped all its fruit. Maybe this year or next year we will get a harvest but, even if not, patience is key.

Lychee - Wai Chee (Cutting)1010501's Edible FruitsUpdate: 919 days 7hrs Comments: - Plant (marcot) arrived in May 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates. Spring 2021 - Has put on most of new growth at the bottom of the plant (?pretty sure this is not from rootstock or anything as plant is a marcot). Very slow growing.

Loquat - Nagasakiwase (Grafted)1010501's Edible FruitsUpdate: 919 days 7hrs Comments: - Plant arrived in Feb 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates. May 2020 - Has put on several inches of new growth. The rootstock seems reasonably active - keep finding new shoots and leaves from it. Spring 2021 - Has flowered and fruited for the first time this year - currently holding onto ~8 fruit (cut the rest off). Now in 45L planter bag. Leaves easily burnt by sun - under shade cloth to avoid this. Also remains very top heavy since purchase - needing a stake, still waiting for trunk to strenghten & am continuing to prune branches to lighten the load.

Native Lychee (Seedling) 4/10MungoMango1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1201 days 3hrs Comments: - Nice tree, takes a bit to get them started though, they seem to like heavy mulching, and fairly consistent applications of liquid fertilizer, however there is no fruit just yet, but it did have flowers last year 2015. Not a native Lychee, just don't know how to go back to start of this particular record. Its a Lychee KIAMANA...

Wampee - Yeem Pay 10/10Kenlovell1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1673 days 4hrs Comments: - A very handsome tree that is now growing quite quickly after a slow start. It had its first fruit last year - a small crop but delicious if left until very ripe. The fruit fly left them alone too, which was a pleasant surprise. The tree currently has a lot of early flower shoots and I'm looking forward to a good crop this year.
