Product Introduction

The Fēizǐxiào is a variety of litchi, also known as Luòtángpú and Yùhébāo. The late Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu wrote: "A rider gallops through the red dust, the concubine smiles, no one knows it's litchi arriving." That's how the variety Fēizǐxiào got its name.

This variety features large fruits, thick flesh, beautiful color, small seeds, and sweet taste, with excellent quality and flavor. It is mainly distributed in regions like Guangdong and Guangxi, and is one of the early-maturing varieties.

The Fēizǐxiào variety is characterized by its robust growth, preference for fertile soil, water-loving nature, and large branches and leaves. It is particularly sensitive to calcium deficiency in the soil; without calcium fertilization over several years, the leaves gradually shrink, branches shorten, and the tips and edges turn yellow, leading to what is known as the "Fēizǐxiào degeneration phenomenon." The Fēizǐxiào is also sensitive to soil moisture deficiency; during the dry autumn and winter seasons, severe soil drought can cause sunburn on the leaves, affecting the growth and quality of the flower spikes.

This variety is "early maturing, with a harvest period between March Red and Black Leaf, and features large fruit." Fruit ripens from late May to mid-June. The fruit of this variety is sweet and edible before it turns red, but the quality declines once fully red and overripe.
