Lychees in South Florida
« on: June 22, 2012, 08:38:32 PM »
Does anybody know where I can purchase lychees in South Florida at a decent price? The asian market I bought from last month doesn't have anymore and the one I checked yesterday had fruit that was green.

about 2 weeks ago, lychees online in Davie, just behind Flamingo gardens had some.  I am not sure if they still do, but it could save you a long drive..

Not positive, but I think they are pretty much done for the year.  I think you'd possibly find some late fruits going either north or south.....but not much is left if you find any at all.

I just picked up the last of a batch of excellent Emperors grown in Palm Beach County.  As stated by others, me thinks the lychee season is coming to, or just about has come to an end in Palm Beach County.   With that being said, bring on the longans.  Lets hope their quality was a good as the quality of the lychees this year (lychee quality was excellent even though quantity was down).
