Just to add my 2 cents worth on lychees! Sometimes trees started from seed will never flower, like seed started oranges. They've fun and very ornamental though. To be really sure, it's best to buy a cultivar that will bear fruit or take cuttings from a tree that you know is a good one. I have a few lychee cuttings rooting now because I want to plant them at my new place when I move next month.

Yes, bananas are so good when they're freshly picked too, like pineapples etc. I have them coming out of my ears here, but my doctor says it's ok and not serious, lol! At the moment I've got about 5 huge bunches almost ripe. I give lots away or feed them to the birds here. Maybe I should sell some so they don't go to waste and I can get a few bucks to buy another plant or 2. By the way, I've noticed that the hummingbirds seem to be the major pollenator here, which was surprising. I didn't thing the flowers would attract them, but I guess there must be a lot of nectar in them. The hummers can't leave them alone!
