My twin sister Janine and I enjoyed lychees from this tree a few weeks before her death in 2008. It was planted by my late brother Sutcliffe and is now bearing more than ever.

This is the second post I've read about lychees today. The first was a super dog named Sugar who lives in Hawaii.
I've never had these before. Someday.
Have a terrific day Judy. :)

Hi Maria,
I see that you know and love lychees! They certainly help me to remember good times. Thanks a lot for your prayers and kind thoughts. You are also in my thoughts and prayers. Lots of Love, Friendship and Best Wishes.

This doesn't look strange to me. But the name is different from the one i know.. Who knows it might be the one i also have in mind.. Hope you enjoy your Lychees Judy, me I'm also a lover of fruits...
I love lychees, took me awhile to try them though because my friends in South Africa told me they were goats eyeballs!
Hi Roni,
Thanks for your comments.
I am here laughing at what your friends told you! Take care and have a good day.

Hi May,
You may indeed know this fruit. It is spelt 3 different ways as indicated on the labels I have added and is also known as Chinese guinep. Take care and have a good day.
Judy
Hi Judy these look lovely ,I've never tried them but I bet they taste good :)
Thanks Clairejustine! Have a great day!
I'm unfamiliar with lychees. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome Connie. Do enjoy the rest of your day.
I like eating lychees and assumed they grew like strawberries! Now I know better.
I think a tree is a lovely memorial.
Thanks Anji! Enjoy your day!
Nothing I love more then Lychee and Vanilla ice cream...OMG yummmmmmy.
Paula
Wow! That sounds delicious Paula! Take care and have a good day.
just wondering if you have warm weather and what type of weather is best for the lychees?
Hi Blogger Broadcast,
We have warm weather and lychees do very well here in Jamaica. Take care and enjoy the rest of your day.
Judy
Thanks for stopping by My Life. today. I am already a follower of your blog. Wanted to say hi.
Thanks Donna! Take care and enjoy the rest of your day.
I've never had them before what are they like?
What a lovely way to embrace your memories :)
We don't get many fresh lychees here - and I find the tinned ones really slimy.

Thanks Rachel! I have never tried the tinned ones but I really love the ones straight from the tree. Do enjoy your weekend.
Hi Melanie B,
The skin is brown but inside it is a sweet white juicy fruit. Take care.
Judy
I can't remember those fruits. Are they called something else too?
Glad they are growing abundantly.
Hi JamericanSpice,
Apart from the name lychee being spelt about 3 different ways they are also called Chinese guinep. They do very well here.
