John says... hello, yes to lychees. protect them from frosts till there about four. Use a guard for that. Earily and large amounts of food, water (not so they get wet feet all the time) and some pot ash. A little seasal when planting helps to. I dont know if you can pot them but in a half wine barrel you would get away with it. | About the Author John10 SB South Australia 15th January 2008 4:11pm #UserID: 549 Posts: 127 View All John10's Edible Fruit Trees |

Correy says... Growing Lychees in pots will dwarf them as John says and continuous pruning as bsilver says will also keep them small. If you have bats or rodents they will definitely want you lychees so keeping them smaller will allow you to net them more easily. I am growing the Salathiel lychee tree (the one with the small seed) and also the Bosworth 3 Lychee Tree in a pot which should keep them small. They do have a medium frost tolerance so if you are in Melbourne with frosts it would be good to nurture them while they are young.
