Litchi Plants

Litchi (Lychee) plants are prized for their lush, tropical beauty and the incredibly sweet, aromatic fruit they produce—making them a standout choice for gardeners who want to grow something truly special. Native to Southeast Asia, the litchi tree is a slow-growing, evergreen fruit tree that thrives in warm, humid climates and brings a touch of the exotic to any home orchard or landscape. With dense, glossy green foliage and a rounded canopy, the tree is both ornamental and productive, reaching a mature height of 20 to 30 feet, though it can be maintained smaller with pruning or grown in large containers. In spring, the tree produces clusters of small, yellow-white flowers that develop into stunning bunches of round to heart-shaped fruit with a textured, rose-pink to red rind. Inside, each fruit holds a translucent white pulp that is juicy, floral, and incredibly sweet—often described as a blend of grape, pear, and a hint of rose water. Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and natural sugars, litchi is not only a delicacy but also a nutritious addition to your diet
