Mauritius Lychee
Mauritius Lychee is the variety of choice for commercial growers because it is a regular and heavy producer. The fruit is sweet, pink to red, and produces chicken tongue seeds in about one out of ten fruit. The fruit is slightly smaller than most other types, however the flavor is supreme. The flavor of 'Mauritius' fruit is distinctly different and spicier than the 'Brewster' and is quite delicious.
