Fay Zee Siu is a highly productive lychee variety from China, known for its large, sweet fruit and consistent cropping. The flesh is juicy, fragrant, and low in acid, with a small to medium seed. It ripens earlier than most lychees and can handle slightly cooler conditions, making it one of the best performers for Perth gardens. The tree is compact, easy to shape, and makes a great long-term backyard fruiter.
