How to Propagate Lychee?
(Litchi chinensis)
Lychee, also known as Litchi
Lychee is a tropical fruit tree valued for its sweet, fragrant fruit. Its cultivation typically involves grafting, which ensures the consistency of fruit quality. For successful grafting, one must select healthy scion wood—an actively growing branch tip—and rootstock that's disease-free. The grafting cut should be clean and precise to promote effective union and avoid pathogen entry. After the graft union has healed, it's critical to provide lychee with appropriate care, including watering, fertilization, and pest management, to support the development of a robust and productive tree.
