I have a Lychee but it hasn't fruited very well for me - just 20 or so fruits some years. I think you have to strangle it or something (or at least take some bark off) and make it feel uncomfortable in order to get a good crop!
Well, that 'splains it! The tree itself looks great, but isn't one of my big croppers! I am constantly being told to gird the tree in order to get a good crop, but now I know it won't make much difference here in Kihei...thanks for the info guys, it's still a pretty tree to sit underneath anyway. I hope your area is better suited than mine Cocoloba.
However, the Cherimoya is doing very well and we have been harvesting a fairly good crop. We have put down a thick mulch around it this summer and we have hopes for an even better crop next year - especially if I try my hand at pollenating. The Cherimoya fruit is absolutely wonderful!
