1. Origin and origin of lychee
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Mr. Hoang Van Com from Thanh Ha, Hai Duong worked as a porter at Hai Phong port. When he went to work, he picked up 6 lychee seeds from Thieu Chau (China) merchants who ate the fruit and threw them away. He brought it back and planted it and grew 3 trees, but only 1 tree is still alive and has been cared for and grown, and branches have been taken to plant more to this day.
To remember Mr. Hoang Van Com, his descendants built a shrine next to this ancestral lychee tree. Because it originates from the Shaozhou people, it is called lychee. This ancestral lychee tree still exists and is owned by Mr. Hoang Van Thu - Mr. Hoang Van Com's grandson.
In front of the tree, there is a concrete stele with the name of Mr. Hoang Van Com to remember him for bringing delicious lychees back to his hometown like bringing rice to the villagers.

You should choose bunches of lychees that are still fresh, with the wings sticking to the fruit and the leaves still green.
Fresh lychees are fruits that feel a bit soft to the touch but are still quite firm, elastic and have a characteristic aroma, without a fermented or sour smell.
If possible, peel 1-2 of any fruit. If the lychee is good, it will have a white stem, not dark or wormy, the skin is slightly dry and the pulp is succulent, quite clear and easy to separate from the seeds.
