Litchi chinensis

The potent cold fronts of this year turned out to be a boon for the longan and lychee trees this year. We had a bumper crop last year and don't really expect any fruit this year. But look at this lychee (Litchi chinensis) tree, it can't be anymore loaded than it is now. The red fruits in the summer will be spectacular to see on this tree. My longan trees are also fully loaded with flowers now and the bees are busy at work.
