Best practices for survivability and field observations
Like lychee, it does best at cooler, upland areas (otherwise prone to irregular flowering and fruiting). One has observed it in yards and private properties. Another mentioned that it really only does well on the wet sides of islands.
Stressors and pests
One noted that water is important for establishment and producing fruit.
Availability and propagation
Not abundantly available. One respondent noted that it is slow growing from propagation (even from grafting). Although it will grow from seed, air layers are best.
