Lychee Seed Germination

Lychee (Litchi chinensis) is a tropical fruit tree that can be successfully started from seed at home, provided the seeds are handled with technical care immediately after consumption. Because lychee seeds are "recalcitrant," their viability drops significantly once they dry out, making the timing of sowing the most critical factor for success. This video provides a step-by-step technical guide to germinating lychee seeds and managing early seedling development in containers.
