The lychee or litchi (Litchi chinensis) is a subtropical fruit believed to be native to southern China, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years. It is reported to have fruited in Florida as early as 1883. Yet twenty years ago, a lychee tree was still a rarity in Florida. The few trees scattered over the southern part of the state were mainly specimen trees planted on estates and in home gardens.
