Litchi chinensis - Lychee, Litche Tree

Another lovely shade of green and such shiney leaves too will look forward to seeing it in flower.

Sixpence:

The flowers are not showy...however, the fruit is extremely showy and very, very delicious! :>)

Thank you Andy just looked it up reminds me of our conkers in their jackets only red.

Sixpence:

It looks similar, however, is a very different type of fruit. :>)

Yes I would imagine it would be.

Have you ever eaten fresh lychee?

No I have never heard of it until now Andy

It may not be available fresh there...but, it could be available in Asian markets, canned. The Lychee tree is native to southeast Asia.

I shall look out for it in supermarkets see if they sell it in them thanks.

I think I will pass them by then thanks Marguerite :o))

Marguerite:

I've eaten lbs. of Lychee at one sitting...they never give me a belly ache. They're so, so good! :>)

Sixpence:

These fruits are considered a delicacy in the orient...they are very healthy for you and delicious! :>)

However, most people don't eat as many as I do in one sitting. LOL! :)

Lol Andy, ok I shall try at least once just to taste for my self.

Sixpence:

Lychee taste very similar to a sweet, soft candy.

Thank you for that Andy so you have a very sweet tooth then hehe

Yes. :>)

Hehe :o))
