Sweet, Heart-Shaped Fruit in Spring and Summer
Originating from the lineage of the renowned Mauritius Lychee, the Sweetheart Lychee is a remarkable subtropical evergreen that stands out with its ability to bear fruit at a very young age. This variation of Lychee has a high production of fruit with smaller seeds and juicier flesh than other varieties.
The self-pollinating Sweetheart Lychee boasts a vibrant red, heart-shaped fruit that can be harvested during late spring and summer. The outer shell cracks when fully ripe, signifying the perfect moment to indulge in the uniquely textured, grape-like flesh.
With a delightful rose scent, the Sweetheart Lychee's flavor is mild and slightly floral, complemented by subtle acidic notes reminiscent of a pear. This makes it an excellent choice for enhancing salads or enjoying fresh, straight from the tree.
Whether planted in a container for a more compact size or in the ground to achieve a larger stature, this tree adapts to various settings. Plus, it’s disease-resistant with low-maintenance care, making it suitable for any level of gardener. Grab your Sweetheart Lychee today!

I finally have a lychee tree!
I have been wanting to grow & harvest my own lychees for almost 30 years since eating them in Thailand. 1½ years ago I opted for a more affordable tree from the big online store for $40 for a sapling. That tree didn't survive a month and had no guarantee. I was finally able to afford the one I really wanted from FastGrowingTrees and it is beautiful! Yes, there is a small branch with yellowing leaves, but I am not worried. It has a strong trunk and is about 3 ft tall already! I'll post pics from today and try to update in a year.
So far so good!
Was pleasantly surprised to have them start putting on new growth soon after I received them late last year. They seem very healthy and I’m hoping to get at least a few fruits this year.
So far growing beautifully 👍🏼

Highly recommend, excellent trees!
Ordered these trees, received fast and in excellent shape. I have ordered so many fruit trees from this company and rarely have any issues with their plants. Have 2 guava, jack fruit, sapodilla, 2 mango, june plum, white sapotes, banana, and many others. Very happy with the quality!
Very good
The tree is in good condition, carefully packaged and arrived perfectly!
