lychee tree

Asian orchard specimen

A lychee tree is a tropical evergreen native to southern China, cultivated for its fruit—the lychee.

The trees grow tall with dense foliage and produce clusters of small, round fruits with rough reddish skin and translucent white flesh surrounding a single seed.

The lychee tree in their backyard finally bore fruit after seven years.
