The fruiting time of litchi trees varies with the propagation mode.Seedling propagation of litchi trees generally bear fruit late, taking six or seven years or even more than ten years.After grafting and reproduction, litchi trees can blossom after two or three years of planting, and can bear fruit when the crown is more than one meter.But because litchi belongs to tall arbor tree species, it consumes more nutrition, so it still has to wait for five or six years before it will have a relatively large harvest.Litchi trees propagated in circles, because of their long development time and developed root system, will bear fruit earlier, about two to three years later, when the crown width grows to about one meter, they can bear fruit.
At present, most of the production of litchi is still the way of grafting and circle branch propagation, seedling propagation takes too long, generally only used in breeding.
Potted litchi trees generally need to be cultivated for five to seven years before they bear fruit.If the potted lychee tree is a solid sapling, it will bear fruit even later, and it may take seven to nine years to harvest gradually.If it is grafted before planting, then it may bear fruit earlier.Generally, it can blossom in about three years after planting, and it can harvest fruits in five to six years.
The most convenient way to plant litchi trees in pots is to buy seedlings directly or after grafting.In the process of breeding, we need to have strong patience and spend more energy to take care of it.
