Overview: The Lychee Nut Tree, scientifically known as Litchi chinensis, is a tropical fruit tree that is prized for its delicious and fragrant lychee fruits. Native to Southeast Asia, specifically China, the Lychee Nut Tree is now cultivated in various parts of the world with suitable climates. It is a medium-sized tree with a dense canopy of glossy, dark green leaves. The tree produces small clusters of round or oval-shaped fruits with a rough, reddish-pink outer skin that is easily peeled to reveal the juicy, translucent white flesh inside.
