To determine the heat unit requirement and assess its subsequent effects on flowering and fruiting characteristics, a field experiment was conducted during 2018-19 with seven cultivars of litchi viz., Calcuttia, Elaichi, Bedana, Bombai, China, Shahi and Muzaffarpur in randomized block design. Bedana showed better result in terms of maximum fruit weight (17.88g), lowest seed content (10.84%), maximum fruit diameter (3.01 cm), maximum fruit volume (18.70 ml), highest TSS (15.870 Brix), total sugar (15.96%), reducing sugar (12.61%), and ascorbic acid (29.47 mg/100g) content.
