Mauritius is one of the most reliable and sought-after lychee varieties, valued for its early harvest, robust productivity, and distinctive sweet-tart balance. Though its roots trace back to China, this cultivar gained prominence on the island of Mauritius, where its quality and consistency set it apart.
Early Harvest: One of the first lychees to ripen each season
Consistent Producer: More dependable than varieties like Brewster
Beautiful Fruit: Reddish-pink skin, firm texture, and excellent shelf life
Flavor Profile: A well-balanced mix of sweetness and gentle acidity with floral undertones
The fruit is medium to large, with bumpy skin and translucent pulp. Its juicy, fragrant flesh is prized for fresh eating and lends itself well to culinary use, from chilled desserts and preserves to high-end savory applications.
Rich in vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, Mauritius lychee is not only delicious but also nourishing — long valued in traditional Asian and African food cultures for both flavor and vitality.
Grows well in full sun with well-drained soil. Moderate pruning helps maintain a manageable height. Its regular production and early ripening make it an ideal variety for both home growers and collectors.

Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
