Prized for their sweet, fragrant fruit, lychees (Litchi chinensis) are tropical evergreen trees sometimes cultivated within U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 and 11. Although most commonly propagated by air layering, most lychee varieties will also grow from fresh seeds. Once planted, the seeds will germinate in approximately one month if kept under consistently warm and shady conditions.
Rambutan is not as easy to grow as lychee, but it can be grown. It requires a humid and warm climate along with organic-rich soil that is sandy and drains well. This is a tropical fruit and therefore, requires tropical-like climate to grow. It requires an area where there is no wind, but has a lot of sunlight.
