Which is the local variety, lychees or grapes?

Lychees are native to my country, grapes are not.

Lychee originated in China and has a cultivation history of more than 2,000 years in our country, but grapes are not. Lychee is a cultivated fruit tree produced in subtropical areas and is distributed in Fujian, Taiwan, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other places. In 2017, the lychee planting area in Guangdong Province was 4.11 million acres and the output was 1.31 million tons, accounting for more than 50% of the country's total area and output. Maoming has a lychee planting area of ??1.39 million acres and an output of 528,000 tons. The output accounts for two-fifths of Guangdong and a quarter of the country. It is the world's largest lychee production base.

Lychee trees like high temperatures, high humidity, and light. Its genetics require relatively low temperatures during the flower bud differentiation period, but it will suffer frost damage when the minimum temperature is -2 to -4°C; the weather during the flowering period is sunny and warm. The best conditions are not dry and hot. Too low humidity, continuous rain, dry and hot weather or strong north wind are not conducive to flowering and pollination. Unfavorable weather during the flowering and fruiting period may cause flower and fruit drop, or even loss of harvest.
