I was a young teen out w/my parents and my dad told me that they were nothing like the fresh lychees he'd eaten in SE Asia. (They were out of a syrup-filled can.) So, come to Fla in June/July and try some really fresh ones!Terra Mirabilishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889673556489343913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51233876271868977.post-22984797248689544992010-07-05T03:16:23.404-04:002010-07-05T03:16:23.404-04:00I had these a year ago at a Chinese restaurant.

Thanks for posting these and reminding me of them, and most importantly identifying this weird fruit.MrBrownThumbhttp://mrbrownthumb.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51233876271868977.post-53238800357531009102010-07-01T14:23:07.745-04:002010-07-01T14:23:07.745-04:00Susan, should you find yourself heading to Dade or...Susan, should you find yourself heading to Dade or Broward, you'll find homeowners selling them at the side of the street. Given this year's abundance, fresh ones may be turning up in specialty grocers such as Wholefoods.Terra Mirabilishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889673556489343913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51233876271868977.post-38512140228535404962010-07-01T13:20:35.646-04:002010-07-01T13:20:35.646-04:00I love the way the fruit looks hanging on the tree...I love the way the fruit looks hanging on the tree...very exotic looking. I had the pleasure of tasting this fruit a couple of years ago and it is delicious.

I think the freeze has pushed the trees here into panic mode: "OMG, I nearly died this winter. Better push out masses of babies!" I don't remember seeing so many laden trees.Terra Mirabilishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889673556489343913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51233876271868977.post-50263491746408849542010-07-01T09:49:21.579-04:002010-07-01T09:49:21.579-04:00Gorgeous photos!

A stark reminder to me that I lost my three-year-old tree to freeze last year. :`( There are scattered old specimens in my area, so I thought they were a safe bet. Hope yours is the tasty variety.Floridagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357453320897720393noreply@blogger.com
