According to the comparison of China New Finance, the price of hanging green litchi on e-commerce platforms is generally ranging from 200-300 yuan/jin, and the price of the most expensive single lychee is 98.8 yuan/piece.

It is now the middle and late stages of hanging green litchi. The orders are all shipped. It is estimated that there is nothing at the end of July." She said, "This is very rare, and the people of Zengcheng may not have eaten it before. ","

Why is it so expensive

The expensiveness of hanging green litchi is not from marketing, but "things are rare."

According to media reports, as a rare variety in litchi, Zengcheng hangs green as a court tribute in the Qing Dynasty. During the Jiaqing period, the people were unable to disturb the officials and chopped the green litchi trees. Only a tree in the west of the western suburbs of the county (now Licheng Hanging Green Plaza) survived.

Nowadays, there are more than 4,000 offspring of greening in Zengcheng, all over the town and streets. These greens are grafted from the mother tree in the West Garden.

Some merchants said that the more algebraes for hanging green grafting, the worse the fruits of the knot, and the cheaper the price. Most of the hanging greens that can be bought on the market are 3-4 generations. China New Finance found that many merchants claimed that their own sales of green litchi was the second -generation hanging green.

Hanging green litchi sold on the market is so expensive, and litchi on the green mother tree is even more valuable.

From 2001 to 2002, Zengcheng auctioned 20 West Garden mother trees to hang green litchi. In 2002, 10 hanging green litchi was sold for a total of 1.315 million yuan, the most expensive price of 555,000 yuan, breaking the Guinness record and becoming the most expensive fruit in the world.

Since then, the Zengcheng government has no longer auction, but has given the green litchi to the people to the people.

Is the more expensive the more delicious?

In addition to lamenting the price of green litchi, many netizens' attention is: Is such a expensive lychee, is it delicious?

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the famous scholars and poet Qu Da Jun described in the "New Language of Guangdong": "Hanging green and crispy as pear, the slurry is not seen, and the shell will be unchanged for three days."

On social platforms, some netizens who bought it said that hanging green litchi to eat "nuclear crispy", and some netizens said, "It's no different from ordinary lychee."
