@article{Davenport2003ManagementOF, title={Management of Flowering in Three Tropical and Subtropical Fruit Tree Species}, author={Thomas Lee Davenport}, journal={Hortscience}, year={2003}, volume={38}, pages={1331-1335} }
There exist hundreds of cultivated tropical and subtropical fruit species, most of which are arboreal. Among these are mango (Mangifera indica), which thrives from the equator (zone 11) to the subtropical limits of tropical zone 10b of the northern and southern hemispheres (Cathey, 1990; Jordan, 2001); Citrus sp., which have a growing range that extends for some species from near the equator into subtropical zone 9b, including, for examples California, Texas, and Florida; and lychee (Litchi…

Crop development and leaf nitrogen in lychee in subtropical Queensland
- Biology
- 1988
Results suggest that flowering of lychee in subtropical environments where heavy rain precedes panicle emergence in autumn can be promoted by restricting leaf nitrogen levels prior toPanicle emergence below 1.75-1.85% N to reduce vegetative flushing.
Processes Influencing Floral Initiation and Bloom: The Role of Phytohormones in a Conceptual Flowering Model

Floral induction in growing buds of lychee (Litchi chinensis) and mango (Mangifera indica)
- Biology
- 1995
In most cases where plants were transferred to winter ambient temperatures for floral induction, pre-activated (growing) buds flowered more consistently than buds that were dormant at the time of transfer, indicating that floral induction occurs relatively quickly in both species.
