The Litchi (or Lychee) is an evergreen tree native to South China that can grow up to 15-20 meters tall, featuring a dense, dome-shaped canopy with glossy, dark green leaves. It produces sweet, fleshy fruits that have a tough, reddish skin and a white, translucent pulp. The tree requires a well-drained, loamy soil with a slightly acidic pH, and it needs specific chilling temperatures and moisture for good flowering and fruiting.
