What are the hometown of litchi in China?

The hometown of litchi in China includes Sanmenpo Town, Haikou City, Hainan Province, Licheng District, Putian City, Fujian Province, Lingshan City, Gaozhou City, Guangdong Province, and Zengcheng District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. Litchi is an evergreen tree of Litchi in Sapindaceae, with a height of about 10 m. Its skin is scaly, bright red and purplish red, and its seeds are all wrapped by fleshy arils. It blooms in spring and bears fruit in summer. When the pulp is fresh, it is translucent and fatty, delicious, but it is not resistant to storage.

Litchi is distributed in the southwest, south and southeast of China, and is cultivated most in Guangdong and southern Fujian. Southeast Asia is also cultivated, and Africa, America and Oceania have introduced records. Litchi, banana, pineapple and longan are also called the four major fruits in southern China.

Litchi trees like high temperature and humidity and sunshine. Its heredity requires that the temperature of flower bud differentiation is relatively low, but the lowest temperature is -2 ~-4℃, so they will suffer from freezing injury. It is sunny and warm in flowering period, and no dry heat is the most favorable. Too low humidity, continuous rain, dry and hot weather or strong north wind are 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.
