How to prune mauritius lychee

Immediately after the harvest period ends (typically mid to late summer). Remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches with clean loppers.

Aim for an open, vase-shaped canopy that lets sunlight reach inner branches, as Mauritius bears on terminal growth from both old and new wood.

Mauritius lychee pruning follows the same principles as lychee generally: a light post-harvest tidy to remove dead wood, improve canopy airflow, and tip branches to promote the laterals that will carry next year's panicles. Mauritius is a prolific bearer — over-pruning directly costs fruit.
