Growing Lychee
 

Hi there,
I succeeded to get something from an avocado seed, This took longer
than expected but it's very nice to it growing.

My girlfriend bought some lychee the other day and I was wondering if
it's possible to get something from it . Can I use the same technics
as for the avocado seed ?

Thanks for your help

PS : I dont expect to get fruits from these trees .

So it seems like it might work (and since you say you aren't hoping
for fruit, that simplifies things). One of the above links does say
you need to start it right away, and not let it dry out.

Hard to say much that's sensible without knowing where you are.

Indoors, I'm assuming. Lychee are hardy to zone 9 or zone 10 or so.
And if you wanted a full-size tree you probably wouldn't want to start
from seed, anyway.

Thanks for your answers both of you .
I want to grow it indoor. I'm not sure how big those tree get after
the years but starting from seed I think I have time to see.

I 'm living at Seattle WA so indoor is the only option for now. The
winter are getting quite cold. I will possibly arrange something to
get enough light during the summer also .
