The Hindu : Promising, sub-tropical, evergreen fruit tree (641 words) |
 | THE LITCHI (Litchi chinensis), a native of south China, is an important, sub-tropical, evergreen fruit tree, and this choice fruit tree known for its flavoured, luscious fruits, is mostly confined to Bihar, West Bengal, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Chhotanagpur belts in the country. |
| Rich in vitamin C and a host of minerals, the juicy fruit with attractive red coat, is mostly eaten fresh, and also can be canned and dried. |
| A recent introduction is the early, non-cracking seedless selection, Swaran Roopa, which does well in Chhotanagpur belts. |
