Grape fruit from seed is almost always true.
Leechi from seed may not be true and willtake long time to fruit. Air layered are freely available in Lahore and so should be in Karachi.

Always grow grafted plants! Lychee from seed never comes true to the type.Brigd sb is very right air layred plants are readily availble in spring in PUNJAB & NWFP.But remember purchase from a well reptable nursery.Surahee is the best choice.grafted grape fruits(both varities) are also avible very easily in spring.
