Can I grow a lychee tree from seed?

Lychee (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) seedling plants do not always reproduce true from seed and usually take longer to bear. You are better off with an air-layered or grafted plant.

For more information, look at the following fact sheets from the College of Tropical Agriculture: "Lychee" and "Growing Lychee in Hawaii."
