Chaozhou longan is precocious and available in April.

(Taiwan Business News) the general longan production season is about July. Chaozhou fruit growers you Shuibin and Xu Yifeng use the technology of regulating the delivery date to let the longan bear fruit in April, and several of them are full of fruit, with the taste and sweetness undiminished. They have been harvested one after another over the past two days, and the price of the line is estimated to be about 100 yuan per jin.

"it's really strange to eat longan now." you Shuibin planted more than a cent of longan and betel nut in Chaozhou 10 years ago. A few years ago, his friend Xu Yifeng mentioned that he had the technology to stagger longan in July and August so as to blossom and bear fruit earlier.

Xu Yifeng said that this batch of longan blossomed in August last year and blossomed one after another from November to December, but due to the low temperature and cold spell this year, many buds were "crisp", and some poor pollination formed blanks.

Xu Xifeng pointed out that this year is relatively poor. Only by relying on the roadside, there are 3 or 4 trees bearing early fruit, and the yield is relatively abundant. Now we begin to harvest, and the remaining 20 trees are still bearing fruit one after another, and it will not be harvested until about June. He said that the technology of regulating the production period is not difficult, but he is most afraid of climate trouble. He began to adjust it 10 years ago, buying the variety of "water chestnut longan" from Dongshan, Tainan, which is produced earlier than usual. Therefore, the probability of success is high, although there are mature technologies, but the climate variable is very large, sometimes inconsistent with the cost.
