Maybe in size, but they are very different in taste and pulp quality. I had litchi for the first time while traveling in France. I found them at a supermarket in California, very expensive! ($4 lb.)
Limoncillo: Dominican parents are very afraid of giving limoncillo to small kids. This slippery fruit can easily lodge in your throat and cause death by asphyxiation. A limoncillo has been the cause of many deaths in the DR.
