When will litchi ripen?

Litchi ripens in June and July every year, but it is not available until April.

Litchi can ripen all year round, but it is easiest to take root in March-April, with early-maturing varieties in February-March and middle-maturing varieties in the first half of April. At this time, litchi gradually entered an active period of vigorous growth, the juice flowed vigorously, and the phloem was easily peeled off. After girdling, callus formed quickly, took root quickly and became seedlings early.

Litchi tree likes high temperature and high humidity, and its heredity requires that the temperature of flower bud differentiation is relatively low, but the lowest temperature is -2 to -4℃, which will suffer from freezing injury; Sunny and warm weather without dry heat is the most favorable during flowering, while dry heat or strong north wind is not conducive to flowering and pollination. Unfavorable disaster weather in the flower and fruit period will lead to falling flowers and fruits, and even loss of harvest.
