Lychee Seeds - Bright Red

Bright Red lychee seeds grow into an evergreen tree with a dense, rounded canopy and steady growth habit. This type is suited to warm, humid, and subtropical climates where winters are mild and frost is minimal. Trees are commonly planted in home gardens, backyard landscapes, and small orchard settings. Bright Red lychee trees perform best in well-drained soils with consistent moisture, particularly during early establishment, and are typically grown as long-term landscape or orchard plantings.
