Very happy with the condition of the little tree when it arrived. Exactly what I had ordered. Now all we have to do is wait for it to grow and produce fruit.

About the tree: The smallest of all of the lychee trees that we stock, reaching only approx 3m at full height, making it the ideal backyard tree. Requires minimal pruning. Will produce fruit either this lychee season or next. Currently 50-70cms approx... Propagated by air layering for excellent fruit quality and fast fruiting. Likes a sunny position with plenty of water and mulch. It is recommended to keep the soil moist after fruit set. Grows in tropical and sub tropical regions. Can handle the occasional frost but needs to be protected from frost and strong winds when it is young. To avoid transplant shock, when replanting the tree fill up the hole with water before placing the tree in the hole. Fruits during summer.Â
About the fruit: Good sized fruit with a sweet taste and small seeds.Â
How to care for your fruit tree
How to care for your fruit tree
When you receive your fruit trees please unpackage them as soon as possible and give them some water. It is normal for some of the fruit trees to wilt slightly in transit but they will revive quickly with care. Please water your trees everyday.
Planting Instructions:
In a pot: If you are planting your fruit tree in a pot long term we recommend using a 3-50 litre pot . Use premim potting mix or rich garden soil, place a saucer under the pot and grass clippings or mulch around the tree to help the tree retain moisture. Water every 1-2 days continually.
In the ground: Dig a hole 2 times larger than the size of the pot or bag the tree is currently in. Squeeze the pot to loosen the root system before planting. Water well and add mulch or grass clipping around the tree. Water daily for the first year and then after that the tree should be able to sourse its own water through its root system, but continue to observe the tree and water if necessary.
Wait 1 month after planting before fertilising to avoid burning the roots.
Special care instructions for lychee, avocado and bananas, please see the product description for each tree.
Fertiliser: Fertilise your trees once a year in springtime following the correct instructions on the packet.
Pruning: Pruning your tree ecourages new gowth and a bushier growth habit. At the end of summer we recommend pruning the tips of the tree branches by 2-3cms or you can prune the tree to a desired shape.
If you have any care questions please give us a call and we will be happy to assist you.

Love my new Lychee tree. It is really very lush. So happy. Thank you Fruitopia.
Happy and healthy out straight of the box
Great plant!
It has now been over a month and I still have not received my dwarf lychee plant. I paid $59.95 for an item that was never delivered. I have already contacted the company multiple times regarding this issue, but I have received no response whatsoever. I am now left with no choice but to write this review to warn other customers about my experience. I have requested a full refund, but instead of receiving a response or assistance, I keep receiving automated emails prompting me to review the company. The irony is unbelievable — perhaps the company should focus on responding to customers and resolving outstanding orders before asking for reviews. If there were a zero-star rating, I would absolutely give 0 stars for customer service. This has been an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience. I paid for a plant and simply expect either the plant to be delivered or my $59.95 refunded. Very poor customer service and communication. I would not recommend this company.
My lychee plant is in ground
Trees arrived in good condition and were an excellent size for planting, I was expecting tube stock so I was thrilled to receive plants already established, thank you!
Healthy tree

I bought this little tree for my sister, who lives 100ks away. I haven't seen it, since she picked it up, but she is very happy. It has been potted, and seems to be going well. I put one in myself a few months ago, and am getting my first crop already, and it's a good one. I'd highly recommend this tree, it's easier to grow, and hardier, than I thought. I was told by the natives in Ipswich that it wouldn't fruit for years, if ever. I don't fuss over it, just some organic feed occasionally, and water when it's dry.
Hi, I cannot show a photo as it's still establishing itself. Looking very good so far, though. Thanks for the guidance on planting and growing; very helpful and accurate
