Detailed Description:

‘Erdon Lee’ has gained international reputation for producing the largest lychees available, with fruit that can be more than twice the size of standard varieties. The fruit skin is bright red, enclosing juicy, translucent-white flesh with a refreshing sweetness and subtle floral aroma. Its small seed-to-flesh ratio enhances its eating quality, making it a favourite for fresh consumption. The tree itself forms a dense, dome-shaped canopy, adding ornamental appeal alongside productivity.

This cultivar is self-pollinating and capable of producing heavy crops once established, typically ripening from mid-summer to late summer depending on the region. It is best planted in a sunny, sheltered position in well-drained soils. While watering is essential during establishment and fruiting, fertiliser must never be applied, as lychees are highly sensitive and can be damaged by added nutrients.

Growth and Maintenance:

  • Watering: Water daily in the first week after planting; then keep consistently moist, particularly in hot, dry spells and during fruiting
  • Fertilising: Do not fertilise – lychee trees are highly sensitive and should never be given fertiliser
  • Mulching: Maintain a deep mulch layer around the root zone to retain soil moisture and protect feeder roots; keep mulch clear of the trunk

Pruning:

  • Formative: Light shaping when young encourages a balanced, rounded canopy
  • After Harvest: Remove any congested growth and dead wood to improve airflow
  • Size Control: Can be pruned to 2–4 m for easier harvesting in home gardens

Common Uses:

  • Backyard fruit tree for premium, large lychees
  • Feature fruit tree in warm-climate gardens
  • Commercial cultivation for high-value fresh markets
  • Shade and ornamental canopy with seasonal fruiting interest

Planting Benefits:

  • Huge Fruit Size: Largest lychee cultivar, producing fruit up to 120 g
  • Self-Pollinating: Only one tree required for fruiting
  • Premium Quality: Sweet, juicy flesh with superior flavour
  • Heavy Yields: Reliable crops once established in suitable climates

Not really what I paid for.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
I have two major chewer dogs, and one of REALLY chews on everything. It’s super difficult not spending an average of $50 every 2-4 months on chew toys because they go through them so fast. When I got my first boy I saw his chewing habits so I looked for a durable chew toy brand. Nylabone was everyone’s favorite so I tried two or three chew toys for him after attempting other brands. He’s six years old and this past Christmas I JUST threw away his very first chew bone. It lasted over 5 years. I was ecstatic after year one! A heavy duty chew toy brand that actually did was promised! Naturally I stuck with Nylabone, never having an issue with any of their toys until this one. Cheeseburger bacon flavored/scented was my go to for this second puppy I just got with the same, if not more, super chewing habits. He loves trying to steal our bacon and burgers so I’m like, “Okay. I’ll try this one.” It arrives, I open it. It smells like freshly burnt rubber from tires and neither of my boys will touch it. I’m also wondering how this can be durable if I can literally bend without trying much. I’m overly concerned with them digesting it and will probably toss it in the trash since my youngest boy has stomach issues already and doesn’t need this thing irritating it. In short, if you think yours will smell like bacon burger go for it. Just make sure your dog isn’t a super canine chewer because I doubt this thing would last an hour with even one of my dogs and that’s if they would actually touch it.

Ok
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
Not for powerful chewers. Did not hold up to Corso pup or Belgian Malinois.

None of the dogs are interested
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
My Mini Schnauzer wasn’t at all interested, and she usually at least explores a new toy a little. I even tried rubbing food on it. I washed it & gave it to my brother who has a Belgian Malinois (?) & it was a no go. We rescued a Goldendoodle & she won’t even hold it in her mouth if I hand it to her. My guess is that the toy is too heavy & the rubber has an off putting smell. This one got 3 strikes from not very picky dogs.

Great for a medium chewer!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
Bought this for my Standard Poodle. He's a year old, 65 pounds, and loves to chew but doesn't have the jaw strength of some of my previous dogs (I think my pit bull would have destroyed this in short order!). This works well for him; it's his favorite toy for fetching. It bounces in an unpredictable manner when you throw it so he has fun chasing and retrieving it. It is heavy so be careful throwing it in the house! I like these shapes better than balls that will roll far under things and be difficult to retrieve. I don't know that I would leave him alone with it in case he did chew a piece off, but for monitored play I highly recommend. I'll definitely buy more if these ever wear out but I don't see that happening in the near future!

Smells like rubber.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
I bought this flavored nylabone for my dog because he had one that he just loved and it finally had to be thrown out. So I bought him this one and he won't even chew on it. All it smells like is rubber. No flavor smell AT ALL. But our other dog chews anything and he chews this so I kept it. I won't buy nylabone again.
