Litchi
The litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is a delicious fruit and generally consumed as a table fruit. It is one of the most popular fruits of India which is commonly taken as fresh or in dried forms. The fruit of litchi comes to the market in May or early June when very few other fruits are available, thus, they fetch remunerative prize in the market.
It is indigenous to Southern China, particularly the provinces of Kwangtung and Fukien. The litchi has been grown in China for over 3000 of years. In 1059, T-Sai Hsiang wrote a monograph on litchi cultivation which is considered to be the oldest publication on this fruit.
The spread of litchi from China to other parts of the world was slow probably due to the exacting soil and climatic requirements of this fruit as well as very short life span of its seeds. The litchi had reached the West Indies by 1775, South Africa in 1869, the Hawaii Islands by 1873 and in Florida in 1833. It spread into other countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Southern Japan, Formosa, Australia, New Zealand, Mauritius, Brazil, etc.
In India, litchi reached through Burma. It was first introduced into Bengal about the end of the 17th Century and spread further into other parts of India.
The litchi was introduced into Punjab around 1920 by Mahajan family from Dehradun to Pathankot. Justice D.K.Mahajan went to Bihar in 1934 and brought with him one hundred litchi plants. In this way, a beginning was made for the commercial cultivation of litchi in Punjab.
The major litchi producing countries are China, India, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Israel, Australia, Africa, Mexico and Central and South America.
