The origin of padauk litchi
Zengcheng Gualv is a rare variety of litchi. It was cultivated as early as the 12th century A.D. In the Qing Dynasty, imperial tributes were offered to the emperor for tasting. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Qu Dajun's "litchi poetry" chanted: 'Duanyang is the time when the first son left, and the fire was like a mountain entering the market. A tree adds to the city's name, and few people know it. Li fengxiu, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, said: 'there is no place for litchi in Nanzhou. It is as precious as a pearl to add green to the city. It's not easy to get some gold, but we haven't made an offer in May. 'Zhu YIZUN, a literary expert in the Qing Dynasty, came to Guangdong to enjoy his name. He praised the litchi in southern Guangdong, which is inconclusive. In order to give a conclusion, the green fruits produced in Guangdong are the most popular. It is known as the king of litchi.
The existing hanging green tree living in the hanging green garden of Licheng Town, Zengcheng, is the ancestor of the hanging green litchi variety.

It has successfully cultivated several generations of hanging green descendants, a total of more than 100 trees, which are planted in several villages of Zengcheng.
