How to Grow Lychee from Seed

Lychee trees are easy to grow from seed. Although it may take several years for the tree to bear fruit in warm, tropical climates, you will have a large shade tree that will bear the sweet, red, snackable fruit. Check out this video to find out how to grow fresh lychee seeds!
If you want to learn more about the lychee fruit and when and where to buy it in stores, check out my video, What is Lychee: • What are lychees (Fruit)?
Disclaimer: These lychee seeds are being grown in hardiness zone 8b, which is cooler than ideal standards for growing lychee trees. These are grown for fun. Results may vary.

Awesome video, thanks!

[@organicgrow4440]

Thanks for the video, interesting all your sprouts seems to have single stems where my seed has about 4 & more stems forming on the new sprouted seed from mid December 2021.

[@niamatullah8820]

Thanks for giving such important information about lichi.

[@LayllasLocker]

Well damn. I ate this abroad and brought the seeds to my country. They are nicely dry now XD I will try and plant them anyways. Must try,

[@luzbendijo7383]

[@anuradhasanyal8991]

i got delicious lychees from Costco this summer. they all have seeds so i am going to try growing the plant.We live in the northeast so will never be able to plant it outside.

[@melissamazlin9291]

Same!

[@eleanorleticiadanieltiangs1082]

thanks hope this will help me someday to grow in rainy and sunny day weather in my beloved country Philippines to grow a lychee farm =) i think in Baguio lychee tree will survive cause of the cold weather but its not safe there cause its mountain

[@cnyiradi]

Which state do you live in? I live in California and get my Lychee's from an Asian market and I've never had a Lychee with no seed.

[@jamestropicals8262]

All lychees have seeds in them and you can definitely grow them in California

[@organicgrow4440]

James Tropicals there are seedless Lychees although I think the OP in this case misunderstood the video she was referring to non viable seeds not seedless fruit.

[@centripetal6157]

Is Rambutan or Lychee better to grow?

[@kikivicious5125]

I sprouted mine like I do my pintos and they are boomin girl. Love ur videos

[@LupieSal]

Can they be grown in pots or growbags? Or does it need to be put in soil

[@austrobok2958]

This looks so easy, if it is then there should be much more lychee production?! I tried once 5 years ago, will try again. But they do need a cool period in the year too, so straight tropical climate is not good? They do well in Mauritius though, and thats tropical..

[@SkyBeautie]

Is it normal for the leaves to develop that gold blotches on it. Mine it doing that now and Im nervous its dying.

[@xandozunsri8560]

Hi, my Lychee looks like in one of your video 3 weeks old in the shade, but mine smaller, i actually put it on backyard, which have direct sunlight, and i live in tropical country, Indonesia, which is hot, but i admit there is a little roof, just little but i dont think it covered my plant, or should i move it to the middle back yard without any roof on the top? will it or is it not too late to make it turned greenish and healthy? Thank you

[@organicgrow4440]

Salaam bro, please keep it in full sun is best. How is it doing now?

[@sindhuvarshini]

Did it grow?

[@Stella-wy6ix]

So I did this:) I planted 10 lychee seeds in January and now I have 8 small lychee trees:) but somethings going on with their leaves... Any tips?

[@ericlarson3597]

What's going on specifically? Could be anything from disease to nutrient deficiency. If the leaves are turning colors other than green like yellow it could indicate nutrient deficiencies. In which case you should apply fertilizer

[@toewhite]

I’m in zone 5b; is it possible to grow/keep a tree indoors in a container?

[@kukulove865]

i had no idea lychees could be seedless, im shook

[@elliehunja6467]

Same.

[@wkhii]

I was just thinking where do they have seedless lychee 😂

[@Epic12Cruz]

I need one to try

[@arrun124]

Is it possible to grow lychee tree in uk 🇬🇧

[@roularotsidou9594]

Hi. Is it possible to grow lychee in Meditteranean area? I live in Cyprus and it is very hot in Summer

[@AnjaliSharma-dh8ce]

Yes you can all you need to do is keep them in partially shaded area or indirect sunlight! Make sure to protect them from winter/ frost they can't tolerate frost but they just seems to do fine in summer

[@sohinilahiri9188]

At what point should i transfer the plant to a bigger pot again? How big should it be?

[@hardeeppakingmachinesludhiana]

4 year

[@monkey-yy8bk]

My lychee may need to live in a pot for the rest of its life since it gets up to -20° C in winter

[@cdnnmonaakitchen8504]

I LIKE LYCHEE FRUIT.BUT ITS CAN GROE CANADA WEATHER?

[@hiddysonday1]

You are not doing what you said. You planted the white part facing down?

[@laverderslemonade]

Has anyone tried warm water ? I just read an article that’s suggested warm water.

[@sylvesterakaPogi]

Can Lychee grow in tropical country like the Philippines

[@bhartijain7032]

I grew a month ago but it didn't come out.
What should I do

[@irex421]

Wrap the lychee in damp towel. They should germinate properly.

[@samreenfatima7818]

For how long can I store the seeds in water before planting?

[@skullrose8985]

From what I have researched & read & I haven't looked into it to deep but basically you cannot let the seed dry out,that's why I stored mine in water & I had to change the water,also if you keep your seeds in water they will start to grow(which I found out while I was keeping mine😅😅)..but apparently you cannot let them dry out,I'm in England..I have got to do more reasearch..but mine have rooted really quick,I done the damp tissue in a zip lock bag & placed inbetween my laundry,two weeks later they have sprouted roots,and more than one root,I think I can see the leaves sprouting out,or where the leaves are going to be(the bottom of the leaf)..shame I can't share a pictures..I have got into growing veg,now I do flowers aswell,but I love experimenting..I have got an Avacado growing aswell..
Goodluck & take care ✌🏼☮✌🏼☮

[@santosbayaras2797]

Good am or pm so Beutiful fruit lychee I want buy a seeds .

[@cheriettevanderlugt3026]

I see also sugar Apple in your clip🤔

[@theodosiskaritzis829]

I'm unable to plant them now, can I keep them in the fridge in water?

[@shamrockgirl804]

I wouldn’t chill the seeds at all. It would be best if you left them in water at room temperature.
If you cannot plant them in soil, you could start them in a plastic bag. Wrap the seeds in a damp paper towel or napkin and put the bag in a warm location. You can transfer the seeds into the soil after they sprout.

[@theodosiskaritzis829]

@@shamrockgirl804 thanks for the tips!

[@organicgrow4440]

Theodosis Karitzis yep as mentioned above keep them humid warm, they are a true tropical & don’t like the cold at all. 🥶

[@gloriamontoya4629]

The lychee I bought I had to take the flesh with my teeth and the flesh is very thin nothing like that much of fruit . Is it because they were not ripe ?

[@GodJesusHolySpirit77]

Do not 4at them unripe. They can posion you so fast and could end up dying.

[@AmelieZh]

Sad I can't plant this in Toronto...

[@olivia6485]

fr I’m from the uk and just wanted some lychee 😭

[@jayanthib5903]

I want that tree how to get

[@hansermelo3272]

Literally tells u in the video

[@erichhartmann9565]

Ten years to bear fruit؟

[@kayazelo]

My seeds split and they are still growing.

[@anivaldosambo7394]

For how much time should i leave the seed in water?

[@karpetcabin]

1 day. Then in damp tissue for 1 week

[@anivaldosambo7394]

@@karpetcabin Thanks😀...i guessed that and they germinated

[@selvarajahjasian2397]

😘👍👏👏👏👏

[@Gupnik]

i don't know what off brand lychees you're getting but ive never gotten a lychee with more flesh than seed

[@superhornyalien]

Yeesh that sucks. Never had more seed than flesh.

[@fionas4749]

What’re you talking about, most if not all fruits are more fruit / flesh than seed.

[@Perseverance4477]

What are the ones that look like sea urchin? Is that a lychee?

[@shamrockgirl804]

Those are Rambutans and they're related to Lychees and Longans (to name a few). Those are pretty good too.

[@jeannesolange5428]

I have been told that the lychee plants grown from seeds do not bear fruits. Try to find out if it's true.

[@dans-designs]

nice video, just fyi its pronounced Lie-Chee, not Lee-Chee

[@User-og1te]

5-10 years??? 😢

[@marieroche1404]

Pronounced lychee not leechy

[@Virtualdream64]

I think it's a regional thing. "lai-chee" and "lee-chee" are both pretty common
