LYCHEE Kaimana Cultivar   Litchi chinensis Sonn. Sapindaceae   The lychee tree is handsome, dense, round-topped and slow-growing with smooth, gray, brittle trunk and limbs. Under ideal conditions they may reach 40 feet high, but they are usually much smaller. An attractive, slow growing evergreen tree originating in China which can reach heights of 35 feet. The lychee tree has pinate leaves with a shiny leather texture and fruit growing in clusters. The ripe fruit is Large, conical or wedge-shaped red fruit with soft flesh, one to one and a half inches long and has dark red-brown rough skin. The flesh is pearly white, sweet and firm.   The leathery, pinnate leaves are divided into four to eight leaflets. They are reddish when young, becoming shiny and bright green. Lychee trees have full foliage and branch to the ground. They can be grown for a short period in a large container.   The tree in full fruit is a stunning sight.
Hardiness: USDA Zone 9b- 11: to -3.8 °C (25 °F) Location: Lychees need full sun, but young trees must be protected from heat, frost and high winds. Soil: The tree needs a well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. A soil pH between 5.5 and 7.5 is acceptable, but plants grow much better in soils with a pH at the low end of this range. Apply a thick layer of organic mulch to the soil after planting. Irrigation: The lychee will not tolerate standing water, but requires very moist soil, so water the tree regularly when it is growing actively. The trees are very sensitive to damage from salts in the soil or in water. Rainwater or treated water should be used. They are sensitive to overfertilization; with too much fertilizer, the leaves will brown from the edges. Fertilization: Young trees tend to grow slowly, and many gardeners tend to give them too much fertilizer in an attempt to push them along. Young trees should receive only light applications of a complete fertilizer. Mature trees are heavier feeders and should be fertilized regularly from spring to late summer. Use fertilizers formulated for acid-loving plants. Chelated iron and soil sulfur may be necessary in areas with alkaline soils.

There is hardly a more attractive ornamental fruit tree than a well shaped, dark green lychee tree heavily laden with clusters of bright red fruits.           Large smooth skin, dark maroon fruits with medium size seeds, Kaimana Lychee is large heart-shaped fruit with 33% shriveled seed and very sweet and juicy. This Lychee tree is a large, vigorous, upright tree. At peak ripeness the Kaimana Lychee is truly delicious and in taste tests against other varieties consistently outranks all of the others.          Typically, Kaimana lychees in the northern hemisphere are ripe during the month of May and June. The season for Kaimana lychee in the southern hemisphere like in Australia or Brazil is late November.
Lychee trees are vigorous growers with a hemispherical shape and upright, spreading habit of growth and wide crotch angles. The branches strong and grooved or ribbed. The leaves are medium green, flat and the edges are straight with an average of 6 leaves to a leaf stalk and new growth flushes are slightly reddish to light green. Lychees require seasonal temperature variations for best flowering and fruiting, Warm, humid summers are best for flowering and fruit development, and a certain amount of winter chilling is necessary for flower bud development. Most varieties need between 100 and 200 hours of standard chilling (32° - 45° F). Cool winters with low rainfall are ideal for lychees. The trees become more hardy as they age. Mature trees have survived temperatures as low as 25° F when fully hardened off. Young trees may be killed by a light frost. Lychees can be successfully grown in frost-free coastal areas.

If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I can’t really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.
