The flesh looks good but the skin tells me it's old or imported, hot water treated or irradiated. If you like that fruit, you'll love the fresh fruit. The true Lychee flavor and aroma is lost in about two days, often before the skin changes color. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, i agree with Simon. To fully appreciate lychee you need to taste a fresh fruit. In my opinion one of best fruits on this planet! #1 King fruit in China.
I agree with both too. Marcos, from seeds it will take many years before fruiting. I suggest you to seek for an aired (de alporquia) plant, which can give you fruits immediately. Here in Brazil, is easy to find them with something around 35 to 70 cm tall and flowers, and it costs between R$ 35,00 and R$ 70,00. I got one for myself (50 cm), and it has 20 fruits for now.
But be advised: the tree can grow so much as a mango tree.
If you comes to Brazil (Sao Paulo) in december, you can visit a place that practices vendemia of lychee. There, you can buy a good aired plant:
