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!

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!
Thriving
Received the lychee tree in great condition. Transferred it to a bigger pot. It is thriving nicely on my patio. Received tree in April 2024. Hoping it will last the summer.
