Growing Lychee in Western Australia
Lychee (Litchi chinensis) is a subtropical fruit tree from southern China, valued for its sweet, perfumed fruit. In Australia, commercial lychee production is concentrated in southeast Queensland (Mareeba, Atherton Tablelands, coastal SE QLD). Lychees need a cool, dry winter period to trigger flowering: regions with mild but distinct cool seasons work best.
Trees prefer slightly acidic, well-drained soil. They are sensitive to waterlogging and do not tolerate frost well. Full sun and wind protection helps fruiting. Grafted trees typically begin fruiting within 3-5 years. Trees can grow to 10m but are often kept shorter with pruning.
Varieties available from Australian nurseries include Wai Chee, Tai So, Kwai May Pink, Erdon Lee, Baitaying, and Fay Zee Siu. Most are subtropical Chinese or Thai cultivars selected for Australian conditions. Kwai May Pink is considered one of the highest quality varieties.
Most lychee nurseries are in Queensland. Shipping to WA, NT, and TAS is restricted. The best time to source lychee trees is spring to early summer.
