Litchi Bombai Variety Lychee Fruit (Air Layering/Grafted) Plant
Product Features and Variety
The Litchi (Litchi chinensis) is a renowned subtropical evergreen fruit tree. This offering is propagated using Air Layering or Grafting, a technique that ensures a plant true-to-name and promotes a faster transition to the fruiting stage compared to seed-grown trees.
- Variety: Bombai Litchi, an important commercial cultivar in India.
- Type: Air Layering/Grafted Plant/Tree (for early bearing).
- Size: 1-2 Feet Height.
- Suitability: Thrives best in moist subtropical climates and is well-suited for cultivation in both ground gardens and containers.
The Fruit: Bombai Litchi
The Bombai variety is highly valued for its sweet and aromatic fruits, which typically ripen in the early summer season.
- Appearance and Size: Fruits are large and often obliquely heart-shaped, displaying carmine red tubercles on a uranium-green background at maturity. A unique characteristic is a tiny, underdeveloped fruit often attached near the fruit stalk.
- Taste and Pulp: The pulp is greyish-white, soft, and exceptionally juicy, with a distinctly sweet and fragrant flavor.
- Culinary Use: Excellent as a high-quality fresh table fruit.
Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates
Sunlight and Climate Needs
Litchi requires specific conditions for successful growth and fruiting, particularly a cool, dry winter period to initiate flowering.
- Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight (6-8 hours daily) for optimal growth and fruit production.
- Climate: Prefers moist subtropical conditions. It needs a period of cool, dry weather in winter to induce flower bud formation, followed by long, hot summers for proper fruit development.
Watering and Soil
Proper soil and consistent water supply are crucial for the Litchi tree.
- Soil: Plant in deep, well-drained loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.0–7.0) is ideal.
- Watering: Requires consistent and regular watering, especially during dry spells and the critical fruit development stage. Keep the soil evenly moist, but ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
- Maintenance: Regular pruning to shape the tree and remove dead wood is recommended just after the harvest to promote air circulation.
The secure paper core packing method used for shipping ensures the plant is protected and well-ventilated during transit, guaranteeing you receive a healthy, genuine variety plant.
