Studies on Floral Biology of Seven Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) Cultivars

Floral biology of seven litchi cultivars (China, Deshi, Elaichi, Kasba, McLean, Nafarpal and Piazi) was studied. Cultivar Deshi showed panicle formation on 2nd January, while panicle initiation was early (10th February) in cv. Piazi. Flowering duration varied between 13±4 days in 'China' a...
