Hanging green litchi is one of the best varieties of litchi. Its meat is crisp, sweet and slightly fragrant, which is extremely precious and expensive. It is said that the sky-high price in the auction at the beginning of 2 1 century broke the Guinness Book of Records. There is another reason why hanging green litchi is so expensive besides good quality. There is only one mother tree hanging green litchi in the world, which is located in Zengcheng, Guangdong.

This mother tree with hanging green has been over 400 years old, 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 100.
