How come my lychee tree has not bore lychees?
I bought a very small lychee tree at least three or four years ago, I have trimmed it several times because I know they are HUGE trees and I made the mistake of planting it about five feet from my bedroom, and am scared of the roots.When will it have fruits? Is it because I keep trimming it? Thank you for your answers.

It's because you're trimming it. Fruits always grow on branches that grew the previous year. You're very big mistake was planting it too close to the house.
Hi Sara, you may want to move the tree further from the house, this will allow it to grow with out being cut and pruned every year. Also, the most obvious answer to why a lychee isn't fruiting is timing. ... Lychee trees don't begin producing fruit for 3-5 years from planting – when grown from cuttings or grafting. Trees grown from seed, may take up to 10-15 years to fruit. So a lack of fruit may just mean the tree is too young.
