Description
Raise your own Lychee (Litchi chinensis) from seed and grow one of the most rewarding tropical evergreens. Young plants form glossy bronze-tinted foliage that matures to deep green, making a striking indoor or patio tree long before fruiting age. In frost-free climates mature trees carry clusters of sweet, fragrant rose-scented fruit.
