Warm winters are detrimental for lychee bloom induction and subsequent fruit set.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Most people who understand and have tasted tropical fruit will agree that lychee is perhaps one of the finest tasting tropical fruits in the “tropical world”. This, of course is not to slight mangos, of which there are some phenomenally delicious tasting varities (i.e. Carrie, Julie, Kent, Keitt, etc.)</p> <p style="text-align: center;">A lychee is a rare sub tropical fruit originating in South China where the lychee is very important in their culture and is famed as “the King of Fruits”.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">The lychee fruit is about 1½ to 2 inches in size, oval to rounded heart shaped and the bumpy skin is red in color. Once you peel the skin off, the crisp juicy flesh of a lychee fruit is white or pinkish, translucent and glossy like the consistency of a grape, but the taste is sweeter. Lychees have a sub acid sweet taste and have a wonderful freshness to them that is hard to describe. Lychee fruit is high in the antioxidant Vitamin C and the essential mineral Potassium.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Lychee trees are beautiful hardwoods that can grow 20 to 40 feet tall in a primarily dome shaped habit of growth with dense, evergreen leaves. Lychee trees are popular landscape trees in South Florida and other areas of the southern U.S. and container, atrium or greenhouse growing of lychee trees is becoming popular throughout the rest of he country.  - <a href="http://www.lycheesonline.com/">LycheesOnline.com/</a></p> <p style="text-align: center;">—————————————————-</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Satellite Pick-up sites</span></h2> <p style="text-align: center;">We are looking to set up a few satellite pick-up sites around Central Florida to help reduce delivery fees and offer better access to local food.
