Re: Lychee Tree

Why, Nev, why?
Aren't there enough Lychee trees in office plant tubs all over the world already? I wish you had considered this up front.

Now we'll have to come over and zap it... Before it bears fruit.

Re: Lychee Tree

They are great. Good in cocktails too.

Anyway, that's my carbon-offsetting done for 2007!

Re: Lychee Tree

You know what, after seeing that picture again I believe we have a variation on that fruit here. We call it rambután.

Yup, checked it on Wikipedia and it is closely related to the lychee.
