New Mango & Lychee tree

 Maryann sent me two trees from Plantogram. The Lychee is a 'Sweetheart' and the mango is 'Coconut Cream'; which looks really great.
I planted 'Coconut Cream' into a Rubbermaid container, that I had originally used modified a couple years ago. I re purposed it by adding hydroton at the bottom and a diatomaceous gravel and pine bark mixture for the rest.
The Lychee I'm gonna try to grow in ground. I also plan on providing some sort of heat (light bulbs) and cover during the winter. At least until it becomes a bigger plant. Its an experiment. I'll also try air layering the lower branch just in case this project fails.
