It is native to southern my country and is cultivated most in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Sichuan, Taiwan, Yunnan, etc. The fruit is harvested when it is ripe between June and July each year, the shell is peeled off, and the aril (litchi flesh) is taken out for fresh use or dried for later use. The fruit is heart-shaped or spherical, with many scaly protrusions on the pericarp, which is bright red, purple-red, green or bluish-white.
