Many years ago I had to wait til June and go to NYC Chinatown to get fresh lychee nuts. So delicious! Now they’re grown in Florida and Hawaii so are available more often. My daughter lives in Hawaii, before she bought her little property she worked in return for lodging at a small farm. She picked lots of them, they sold for about $3-4 lb, when they were $7-8 lb at the local Indian market here. ( now about $5). They are slow to start, but make a lovely plant. Plant only the biggest fattest seeds...I would love to see you grow more tropical fruit! An old book called After Dinner Gardening was a lot of fun -again, years ago. I’ve grown mango, ginger, turmeric, pineapple, taro, etc. Ethnic markets are great for scouting planting material to try, especially when the urge to grow something hits in winter. Thanks so much for this video! Oh yes of course avocado...🥑 🌿 🌱
I'm loving this series of growing plants from the seeds of fruit you eat. Not a fruit/seed, but I recently did this with the end of a horseradish; it put out roots and sprouted. It reminds me of science projects in elementary school!
Muffin is such a petite little thing, so sweet.
The plants look phenomenal
She says thank you 😽
Can we get an update on the Lychee?
A little off topic but Lychee martini’s are so good! Thanks for sharing and I think I will try this!
I love them!! SOHO lychee liqueur is my favorite to use for them 😄
I love when Muffin make an appearance 😊
I loved this video concept, as I too am an exotic fruit.
Very interesting! I've never had lychee fruit, but now I need to!
Great video! It reminds me of the avocado plants popping up all over my garden. My husband eats lots and lots of avocados and puts the pits in the compost bin. As I use the compost around the garden they invariably pop up all over the place. The young plants are very beautiful and it would be great if they lasted, unfortunately they just can’t take our summer heat for more than one or two seasons. This is inspiring me to plant one intentionally and try moving it inside over the hottest months, as I have to do with my jade plants that seem to melt in our crazy heat, but completely thrive outside over the winter months.
The avocado tree will eventually harden and acclimate to a good degree in hot climate as long as you baby it until it's around 5 to 8 years old exposing it little by little to more and more heat. The roots have to be large and established before it's left alone. I throw a 30% shade cover around it when the sun is super hot.
Good luck with these def make a nice indoor plant. Although I don't know how long it takes to fruit. Definitely treat it as a banyan indoor plant. I'm a sucker for Japanese maples but I'm in Florida
So that's a no-go bt lychee trees are as abundant as mangoes and sugar cane.
I absolutely love Lychee, they're just delicious! I just found this video today, I'd love it if we could have an update on these lychee trees!
Hi Nick! This was another fun video on growing plants from seeds we get in our fruit. I've never had lychee, and never seen them in the stores. Hi Muffin ~ she's so adorable! Thank you so much for sharing!
It’s the lychee season!! I’m living in southern China and lychee is everywhere in the market. But since there are more varieties to enhance the flavour and also reduce the size of the stone, most of the lychee I have consumed always with tiny size of stones, and I don’t think they are capable to germinate. But I’ll give it a try. Their foliage is very beautiful!
Thanks for sharing this way
I’m from Hawai’i and lychee (pronounced lai-chee) is my favorite fruit hands down. However, trees take forever to produce fruit. 😩Your plants look very healthy. Nice video.
Love, love, love all your weird plants!! Very cool.
When I was growing up, my sisters and cousins and I used to try to peel the lychees but still leave the paper-thin, white membrane on. We used to compete and see who could peel the most that way. We called them "eggs" when we were able to leave the membrane intact. One of the highlights of the summer holidays was waiting for the lychees to turn red. They make great ice-cream. And cocktails, or just plain milkshake.
I’m growing rambutan (very close to lychee) from fresh fruit. It’s been really fun to see them sprout.
I have never even heard of those fruits before . Interesting project
I grew a bunch of these before with great success. I've also grown longans and rambutan. It's fun growing the seeds we usually throw away. Try a series on growing popular food from seeds. Dragonfruit also grow easily from seed but it takes about 4 or 5 years to start putting on size
Interesting! Wonder how this would do in my dark-ass house during the winter (not great I bet lol). You've given me a new project to try
I never knew how to say Lychee thank you for teaching me this
i threw a longan fruit pit in a pot the other day, i'll have to pop it in a baggie greenhouse lol!
Very informative video
Do you transfer it to a bigger pot?
I'm ridiculously excited to try this! What's the soil mix that you used?
Fascinating! How are the guavas doing?
They still look like when I finished, plus a few leaves per plant, but no increase in leaf size yet!
😢😢im from south africa .i plant mine in a 5 ltr bucket outside and they are doing well.only dont know how lng the y take to bare .lytchies are very well liked over here i also have orange and lemons and lime and pomelo all planted from aeeds and all types of avocado
Ik this is off topic but I need some Piper ornatum/crocatum plant of the week tips! Or an apoballis red sword plant of the week. If you’re taking suggestions. Lol
Thank you Nick for sharing this I interesting germination process. Muffin is adorable 🥰 now the better question is where did you get that fruit? I’ve never heard of it until this post 💚😎💚
I usually get them from Iovine Produce at Reading Terminal Market but I’ve seen them at chain grocers too like Giant and Wegmans. Typically only in the summer though. At Asian markets and in Chinatown neighborhoods (like here in Philly) they are usually available most of the year
@@NickPileggiPlants I’ll have to check the Asian markets. Thank you Nick 😎
Wanted to try this with some longan fruit. But while I was at work a couple of cats knocked the seeds onto the floor and proceeded to play hockey. Am assuming most of the "pucks" are now under my refrigerator... ?
It's fun growing plants from edibles...thanks Nick!!! Have a beautiful day!!!
🍃🤗🍃
How long do they take frm planting to bareing fruit.
Sir. Will it bare fruit in plant ?
do you still have these lychee plants? currently growing my own
How long between the pink small stage and the green leaves? Mine have pink leaves. Still very small. Do they need heat?
Mine took quite a while (some 3 weeks maybe). Be patient, this plant seems to grow quite slowly.
From what I've read, the lychee plant does like full sunlight!
@@prcryeah mine is stuck in the green leaf phase. But because of dark days, we don't have much light here during the day. Still winter.
Consider me influenced
🤣🤣
It’s pronounced as “ Lai - Chee “ . 😊
Anything special about that soil? I’ve had mine in bags of water for nearly a year and are super small vs yours after 4 months in soil 😂. Guess it’s time to put them in the dirt
Totally misread this title as "Growing Leeches From Seed"
😲😝🤣
Lychee trees grown from seed takes five years to produce fruit
Been doing this for years , never heard of this fruit 😮
Yes we do throw away so much ! 🫶🍃
