  • The tree you are buying is in a plastic container. It should be watered every day, about 1/2 a gal of water. When you see the water overflowing from the bottom pot, it means you are putting too much water. The tree can be planted on the soil immediately. You still need to water it every day
  • Sweet and juicy with a rose fragrance Lychee’s are considered the King of fruit. With its rough, scaly outer skin, lychee’s shape is compared to a strawberry and ripens very fast from green to a beautiful bright red exterior. The fruit itself resembles a grape and can have a seed in the middle which is removed before eating this luxurious fruit
  • Depending on your destination and transit days, we might ship your tree until Monday, so that it does not sit on Fedex warehouses for 2-days during weekends. We cannot accept returns on our tropical fruit trees. Unless the carrier damages or destroys the live plant
  • This tree is propagated by air layering, this means that this tree is a clone of a mature tree and is able to produce fruit in 2-3 years 
  • Tree is propagated from Airlayering

Key Features

The lychee sweetheart fruit tree features glossy, dark green leaves, produces fragrant, small white flowers, and bears round, juicy, sweet fruits with a bumpy red skin.

Special considerations

Lychee sweetheart fruit trees require well-drained soil, protection from frost, and consistent moisture, necessitating special care and warm, humid conditions for optimal growth.

Growing and Care Instructions

Lychee sweetheart fruit trees prefer well-draining, slightly acidic soil with consistent moisture; they thrive in full sun, tolerate temperatures between 32°F to 100°F, benefit from balanced fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during growing season, and require minimal pruning to maintain shape and remove dead wood.

  • Fertilizing

    Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.

  • Watering

    Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy.

  • Light Requirements

    Full sun to partial shade.

Healthy, full, and worth recommending

I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.

The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.

I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.

Thank you so much!
