Lichi (Normal)

Litchi (also known as lychee) is a tropical fruit tree native to southern China and Southeast Asia. The fruit has a rough, reddish-brown outer skin that is inedible and a sweet, juicy flesh inside. Litchi fruit is a popular delicacy in many parts of the world, and it is commonly used in desserts, drinks, and even savory dishes.

Litchi trees can grow up to 10-15 meters tall, but they are usually kept shorter for easier harvesting. The leaves are dark green and glossy, and the tree produces small, white or yellow flowers in the spring. The fruit typically ripens in late spring or early summer, depending on the variety.

Litchi fruit is a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber. It is also low in calories, with about 66 calories per 100 grams of fruit. The fruit is said to have various health benefits, including aiding digestion, boosting the immune system, and reducing inflammation.

Litchi trees are grown in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including India, Thailand, South Africa, and the United States (in Florida and Hawaii). They prefer well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight, but they can tolerate some shade. The trees are relatively easy to care for, but they may require regular pruning to maintain their shape and to promote fruit production.
