Just wondering if this is possible, or if anyone here's actually managed to do it. I have two baby litchi trees, about three months old, grown from seed, and as I don't have outdoor space to grow them into ordinary trees I'm thinking that it might be fun to experiment with making them into bonsai. Any suggestions?

What is a litchi tree? Never heard of it, do you have a picture? Many people grow bonsai from seed.

Ed:- check this link, it should enlighten you:

Personally I would say that it would only be feasible as an extremely large bonsai due to the size of the pinnate leaves

Pity you can't grow it as a full sized tree because lychee's are delicious
