Description and Key Features:
Litchi chinensis has been in cultivation as long as the 11th century, and is widely grown in Asia. Plants reach highs of 15-28 metres in the wild but are much less in cultivation. The leaves on a fill grown tree measure 20 cm. The fruits take about 90-100 days on the tree to become edible. These plants are growing in pots and ready to be transplanted into a bigger pot where they will thrive when given suitable conditions.
