Spacing:

            Litchi trees are usually planted in a square system at 8-10 m. But in region where the spread of tree is large, it is advisable to space the plants preferably 10 m apart. In high density planting spacing is 5x5 m.

Season of Planting:

Manuring & Fertilization

Litchi does not reproduce from the seed because seedling plants have long juvenile period. Seedling trees do not bear until they are 5 to 12 years old. For these reasons, seeds are planted mostly for selection and breeding purposes or for rootstock.

Airlayering or marcottage is the best method widely used for the propagation of litchi. Upright branches (1.5 cm stem diameter and 30-60 cm long) from well developed trees, free from pest and disease are selected for marcottage.
