When is Hainan lychee ripe?

1. When is the season for maturity?

Because Hainan is located very far in the south and the temperature is relatively high, lychees mature relatively early. Most of them mature in May and June in summer, while the remaining few types mature earlier or later. Hainan's climate is very suitable for the growth of lychees. The fruits produced are of high quality and have a very good taste. They taste sweet and fragrant. If you want to eat early-ripening Hainan lychees, you can buy them from early summer.
