Hello everyone!

I am from Homestead, FL. I planted several air-layered lychee trees from 5 gallon containers and a jujube tree earlier this year. I wanted to post their progress pictures and ask for some advice as to how I should properly care for them.

Jujube:

As you can see (although its hard to tell in the second image) the tree has grown several new branches and is covered with fresh new leaves and small flowers. I don't have a clue if I should leave it alone or prune it a particular way to promote growth upwards. The tree had fruit on it when it was in the container the day I planted it. It seems to have one large branch were all the other branches are growing from. I was hoping the trunk would grow another one to the right to counter balance. Some branches are going to the right but they all are coming from the main left leaning branch and not the trunk.

Dragonfruit:

I got this clipping off a red dragon fruit "tree" and its grown incredibly fast. After about 3 months I move it from the container into the ground and its continued to grow at a fast pace. Once it reaches the trellis top I'll make a clean cut at the top to encourage multiple "branches". If you have any tips for me i'd love to read them.

Lychee:

This one suffered some wind damage early on but seems to have recovered a bit.

Mauritius:

Longon:

It's difficult to tell as the angle and distance are different however you can see that the leaves extend beyond the bamboo stick supporting it. It's leaning to the left which I would like to correct (unless it will self correct after time). When should I remove the bamboo support?

All these trees were planted into about 2 ft holes dug into the coral that plagues us here down in South Florida. They are all exposed to sun most of the day 8 hours+. I know the trees can thrive in this soil as there are loads of them around. I am however a newbie to this having just bought this property and never planted a tree before. I'm on 3 acres, an avocado grove. I planted everything about 20ft apart.

I welcome any advice that will help me get these trees to grow the best they can. (watering, fertilizer, pruning, anything) If you need more information to help me just ask, I'll be checking the thread regularly.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!
