Good very chilled and they even make martinis with them!<br>They are expensive, probably because the first few years that you have the tree you should trim off most of the emerging fruit so that the young tree can focus their energy on growing rather than producing fruit. After two or three years you can let the tree produce fruit normally. Maximum fruit yield begins after the tree is about 10 years old- Mexican Trailrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05987460497945211699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744734965412225855.post-87646235365926126502010-06-10T08:41:57.136-05:002010-06-10T08:41:57.136-05:00A type of lychee.
