Planting conditions, climate and environmental requirements of litchi planting area

Litchi likes high temperature and humidity environment and sunny environment. It needs a relatively low temperature at the flower bud differentiation stage, but it will suffer from freezing injury between MINUS 2 and MINUS 4 degrees. It is most favorable to have sunny and warm weather without dryness and heat at flowering stage, while low temperature or continuous rain is not conducive to flowering and pollination. Litchi is suitable for sowing in April-June in spring and August-September in autumn, with the highest germination rate.
