Litchi chinensis is a medium-sized evergreen tree that has a dense, round-topped form and glossy, dark green leaves that are compound and leathery in texture.
The tree produces small, fragrant flowers in clusters, followed by round or oval-shaped fruits with rough, pinkish-red, or reddish-brown skin.
Litchi chinensis is primarily cultivated for its delicious, juicy, white fruit, which is consumed fresh or used in various culinary applications such as desserts, drinks, and preserves.
This is a fruit tree for warmer climates that is not difficult to grow and maintain, while yielding wonderfully fragrant, juicy fruits.
