Lychee is a tropical evergreen tree with a rounded, dense canopy and glossy foliage. It is well adapted to warm and humid climates and performs best in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Plants grown from seed establish gradually and are suitable for garden planting in tropical and subtropical regions. Consistent warmth, moderate moisture, and protection from strong winds support steady growth and long-term development.
