Bombai Litchi (Grafted) Plant

The Bombai Litchi is a popular cultivar of the Lychee (Litchi chinensis), an attractive, slow-growing evergreen tree cherished for its delicious, highly aromatic fruit. As a grafted plant, it is specially propagated to ensure that it retains the exact superior characteristics of the parent tree and begins to bear fruit much sooner compared to seed-grown trees.

The tree features a dense canopy of glossy, dark green leaves and produces clusters of small, fragrant yellowish-white flowers that eventually give way to the prized fruit.

Features of Grafted Bombai Litchi

• Early Fruiting: Being a grafted plant, it is engineered to bear fruit earlier than seed-grown trees, typically within a few years of planting.
• True to Variety: Ensures the fruit will have the same consistent, high-quality characteristics as the parent tree.
• The Fruit: Small, roughly spherical, or oval fruit with a rough, leathery, reddish-pink skin that is easily peeled.
• Flavor Profile: The translucent, juicy white flesh (aril) is known for its sweet, fragrant taste, often described as a blend of sweet and tart with a unique floral hint.
• Foliage: Attractive, dense evergreen foliage with new leaves emerging as a reddish flush before maturing to dark green.

Essential Plant Care

• Sunlight: Requires a position that receives full sun, ideally 6 to 8 hours of direct bright light daily for vigorous growth and optimal fruit production.
• Watering: Needs regular watering, especially during dry periods and throughout the main growing and fruiting season (spring to summer). Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging as the roots do not tolerate standing water.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5-7.5).
• Fertilization: Established trees benefit from regular fertilization three to four times a year with a balanced fertilizer. Avoid excessive nitrogen application from late summer into early spring as it may reduce flowering.
• Pruning: Prune after the main harvest season to maintain shape, control size, and ensure good air circulation within the canopy.

Dos and Don'ts After Receiving Your Plant

• Do not re-pot the plant immediately after receiving it to allow it to recover from transit.
• Keep the plant in indirect sunlight for the first 3 to 7 days.
• Always check the soil moisture and keep the plant hydrated. Do not overwater.
• Watering generously will help the plant recover its turgidity if it appears temporarily wilted due to delivery delay.
