So, the lychee tree I have which I think is Brewster is giving me an awesome percentage of chicken tongue seeds.

Mark, do you have pictures of the Fruit? Brewsters color is more dark red compared to Mauritius. Sweetheart has a high percentage of chicken tongue seeds.

Simon,
For sure it isn’t Sweetheart, it came from Caltropical and the leaves are a lot smaller than Sweetheart. Maybe it is Mauritius.

Doesnt look like Brewster (plus flesh of Brewster tends to stick to the seed and have larger seeds).  What level of acidity?  That will define if Mauritius.

Thanks Rob,

There is a little acidity in the not totally ripe ones, but the majority are just fine.
