NEW BREWSTER LYCHEE FRUIT DETAILS

Now, here’s the lowdown: the new Brewster Lychee, officially Litchi chinensis ‘Brewster’, grows into a sturdy tree, easily reaching 20 to 40 feet. Its dense, rounded canopy and glossy dark green leaves make it a visual standout. The fruit itself is plump and oval, measuring roughly 1 to 1.5 inches across. The skin comes in a rich, deep red shade—classic red lycheee—turning slightly smoother as it ripens, with a leathery texture and small raised bumps that flatten over time. The inside reveals juicy, translucent white flesh, known for its sweet, crisp flavor. Seeds are mostly full-sized, but occasionally you get the prized “chicken tongue”—tiny seeds that mean extra fruit. The lychees hang in loose clusters, sometimes with up to 50 per bunch. The new Brewster Lychee flourishes in well-drained soil and sun, with regular watering but no standing water. A cool, dry stretch is essential for the best yield. In the US, harvest hits from mid-June to mid-July, and for top flavor, let the fruit fully ripen on the branch before picking. Too soon, and they turn sour—wait for that perfect moment.
