DAMN! That sure is a lot of them. Do you have a farmers market anywhere around you?
Yeah I do. I also found a couple Asian markets around. I think I'm gonna take a few up there and see what they think. I hate for them to go to waste and I'm certainly going to die if I keep eating them.

Guaranteed you'll make a nice little profit selling those things. A bag of those here in NYC cost a pretty penny.

Consider yourself extremely lucky to have a tree like this in your back yard. Almost as good as having a mango tree.

Holy shiat! That's a NICE tree! Did Asians live there before you? Otherwise, who would've planted lychee trees in FL?

In Asian markets here, lychees go for $6/lb, and a pound is not much at all. If I had lychees for sale, I could easily sell them for $3-4/lb to them, but in all honesty, I'd keep them all to eat.
