3. In addition to its good quality, hanging green litchi is so expensive, and there is also a reason that it is very rare. There is only one mother tree hanging green litchi in the world, which is located in Zengcheng, Guangdong. And this mother tree with hanging green has a tree age of more than 4 years, which can be called the ancestor of hanging green litchi, but it will also decline because of its life span. Several generations of descendants have been cultivated from this tree, but the total number is only over 1.
How much is the sky-high price of litchi in Zengcheng?
1. Every year from late June to early July, the litchi is green and mature, with a red shell and a green shell, and four points are slightly green and six dividends. Because each fruit is named after a green line, the pulp is white wax-colored, the taste is crisp and the juice content is less. As the rarest variety of litchi, the hanging green is rare and expensive, and the purchase price is 2-3 yuan/kg. If you meet it, you must seize the opportunity to have a taste.
2. It is said that the green litchi mother trees in Zengcheng District are guarded by special people, and there are also special night watchman to watch these litchi trees at night to prevent people from stealing or destroying them. Litchi tree is 6 meters high and its crown diameter is about 8 meters. It has a history of more than 3 years. The reason why it is so expensive is naturally that "things are rare and expensive". Litchi produced by litchi mother tree can only be calculated by one, so the green litchi can only be auctioned, not sold.
