I started this thread over in "Fruits and Nuts" but nobody seems interested. Maybe "Florida Gardening" would be a better choice..

So, I was walking through the local farmers market last weekend, and this little lady had a sign on a small box: $4.00 a pound. The stuff looked like large strawberries -- but darker.
Not being one to ignore a challenge, I asked her how to eat them.
They were Lychees she said -- and offered me one -- with instructions,
Nip the stem and start pulling back the skin. Pop it into your mouth, but watch out for the seed.
It came back to me like a flash. I hadn't eaten one of these things in over forty years, during a journey to Hong Kong and China. Then they came in long mesh sleeves -- and, as I recall, were every bit as delicious. Fantastic.
I persisted, back home -- and managed to get this "Sweet Heart" installed.
Does anyone else grow them? This variety is supposed to be much tastier than most others -- and is guaranteed to have the much smaller "chicken tongue" seeds.
