Also taste...Sounds fishy. Let me read the article but I'll say before I do if this is possible how come it hasn't happened until now? I shall return.
So based off of a quick read of the article, it seems like this one was made using traditional methods instead of gmo. Looks like China is gonna be keen to not let this one spread out of the country so they can monopolize it. Even so, it would take years until it lands into the US especially with import restrictions (since this is lychee)
