Longan do very well here in PHX. Lychee grow but need a little more humidity to fruit often. Jackfruit has problems with our winter.

Thanks, but wat varieties of lychee did u try ,, and longan ,,
And jackfruit is more cold sensitive than lychee and longan ?
What cold is it in PHX in the winter ?
And did u manage to grow a lychee tree and have it fruit ,,, or the problems occurs to the plant even without fruiting ?

Thanks and sorry for asking too much ,, :D

any longan and sapodilla cultivar do well with hot and dry climate (as far as i know)!

there are two litchi types: low-land and mountain. lowland litchi cultivars (kaimana, mauritius..) can stand heat and low humidity, but performance is not excellent. but that kind of plant needs in such an environment first an acclimatation period (shade)!

Thats sucks !!

And do you know other varieties than brewster and kaimana that can do well ,,, what about groff or ohia or hak ip ,,

Do you have a lychee now? I am trying to grow a lychee now in Vegas lol... I'm starting from seed I know it will take 10-20 years, but I only spent maybe 1 few dollars on the seeds as a experiment. I read that if you place water filled pots around the plant the water will evaporate in our dry climate and help w humidity I guess I will try that and see how it goes lol and if I fail I only spend a few dollars.

I am starting in pots and will plant outside in the shade. eventually and in the pots I will set them on top of pebbles covered w water so it will evaporate and make it more humid for the plant, and also place water around the plant so the environment will be more humid.
