Aoa hai Murad Lychee from seed never comes true to the type.purchase good quality layered plants.surahee is a good variety.keep in mind lychee gives top productions after 7 years.lychee from seed produce very small wils type fruits.

Aoa Murad you can get reliable lychee plants from Haripur.i m not in favour of nursry men.find out any friend who owns an orchard.this is the right time for layring.ask some orchard owner who you know very wel.thesre two main varities grown in our prov.Gola & Surahi.golas fruit every year but friut quality is inferior as compaired to Surahi.Surahi produce top quality fruits after one year interval.it fruits one season the folowing season it will not produce.the next it will produce again.i mean there is a break after each production.so plant both varities.on comm bases we keep dist of 30 feet in each tree.

Aoa no it will not be late.layering season starts in moonsoon.ask any lychee orcard owner in Haripur to prepair 4-5 layred plants for you.the plants will be ready in spring to trnsplant in their final positions.Hariur & Mardan are the best lychee producers in our prov.
