The fruit of the lychee tree is covered by pink to strawberry-red colored leathery rind. Lychee fruits are oval or heart-shaped, 1 to 1-1/2 inches in length and contain inedible seeds.
The slow-growing tree produces ping pong ball-sized fruits; once peeled, they reveal a white, jelly-like, sweet interior and large seed.
Prune mature trees to help control the size and shape. The University of Florida Extension office recommends not cutting branches that are larger than 1 inch, or you risk having less fruit production.
