Lychee

The lychee tree grows in Jaltemba Bay. It is a local comercial crop. It is a big evergreen tree reaching 10–20 m tall.  The outside of the fruit is covered by a pink-red, roughly-textured rind that is inedible but easily removed to expose a layer of sweet, translucent white flesh. The texture is a bit rubbery.

It blooms in March with a bloom that resembles that of the Mango tree. This tree is located in the San Pancho Community Garden.

After the first rains in June the fruit is ready in our area.

According to Wikipedia fruits that are up to 5 cm (2.0 in) long and 4 cm (1.6 in) wide but our local variety seems to be quite a bit smaller than that.
