That figure is very conservative, both as to the 
yield anticipated and in the price for the fruit. Although 
it estimates an average yield of 70 pounds per tree, 
growers report that well cared for trees ten years of age 
can be depended upon to produce at least 100 pounds of 
fruit each. 
After the tenth year, profits should rise steadily, as 
experience shows that trees well cared for increase in 
production quite rapidly. 
Selecting the Land 
Selection of the proper location for a Lychee Orchard 
is of prime importance. To assist in this work, Lychee 
Orchards, Inc., will be glad to examine your land, help 
you take soil samples to be analyzed by your county 
agent, and make recommendations as to its suitability 
for Lychee planting. 
To those who do not possess satisfactory land and to 
those looking forward to the establishment of a Lychee 
planting as a retirement income program, we offer our 
assistance in locating a suitable tract and in many cases 
can also arrange for the complete planting and care of 
the orchard up to bearing age and after. 
All persons contemplating the planting of Lychees on 
a commercial scale are urged to visit our nurseries and 
orchards at Laurel, 14 miles south of Sarasota on US 41. 
Here, better than anywhere else, you will be able to get 
the full story of Lychee growing in Florida.
