Emperor Lychee Tree
The Emperor Lychee Tree is any Lychee lovers Dream! Growing to be not too big and being compact in size it is great for those with limited space or to grow in a pot. Being a heavy producer you can enjoy generous yields of fruit from this Variety. Enjoy this Chinese delicacy in your backyard!
The Fruit is the largest of the lychees! With a sweet soft flesh and great aroma and high in nutritional content it is a true delicacy. Some say the taste is like combining coconut with pineapple with pear. You can add it to salads or desserts for a tropical taste or just eat it straight out of its red shell.
