The Lychee And Lungan

This fascinating and informative volume contains a wealth of information on Lychee and Lungan, taken from the author's twelve years of experiences in the heart of South China's lychee production regions. A book that will be of much interest to western horticulturalists with little knowledge of these plants, there will also be information of value to fruit growers interested in the different theories and practices traditionally employed in China. The chapters of this book include: 'Origin of the Names Lychee and Lungan, and English Spelling and Romanization', 'Chinese Literature on the Lychee', 'European and American Literature on the Lychee and Lungan', 'Some Important Ling Nan Centers', 'The Climate Best Adapted to the Lychee and Lungan', etcetera. We are proud to republish this antique text here complete with a new introduction on the subject.
