Strategic selection of polliniser trees can improve fruit quality of lychee, a crop that exhibits mixed-mating by Stephen J. Trueman, Joel Nichols, Christopher J. Burwell, Wiebke Kämper

“…We aimed to: (1) identify flower visitors in a lychee orchard; (2) determine levels of selfing and outcrossing among two lychee cultivars (Kaimana and Kwai Mai Pink) at increasing distances from another cultivar in single-cultivar blocks; and (3) assess effects of pollen parentage on fruit size, skin colour, Brix, acidity, and mineral nutrient concentrations. The European honeybee and a rhiniid fly, Stomorhina discolor, were the most abundant flower visitors. …”
