Kunezinhlobo ezingaphezu kwekhulu zikalamula, futhi izinhlobo ezintsha ziyaqhubeka zivela minyaka yonke.
Manje yisikhathi sokujabulela ngokusemthethweni ulamula. Inani elikhulu likalamula liyatholakala emakethe. Izitolo ezinkulu, izitolo zezithelo, nabathengisi basemgwaqweni bonke bamemeza ngolamula omusha, ngemisho ehehayo efana nokuthi "Akukho okudingayo ukukhokha uma kungemnandi" futhi amanani ayahlukahluka kusukela phezulu kuya phansi.
I-Litchi (igama lesayensi: Litchi chinensis Sonn.) ingeyesomndeni we-Sapindaceae kanye nohlobo lwe-Litchi. Isihlahla esihlala siluhlaza, cishe ngamamitha ayi-10 ukuphakama. Isikhumba sesithelo sinokuqhakaza okunamagwebu, sibomvu ngokugqamile nangombala obomvu ngokunsomi. Uma sivuthwa ngokuphelele, siba bomvu ngokugqamile; imbewu yonke imbozwe yingxenye yembewu engamanga enenyama. Isikhathi sokuqhakaza sentwasahlobo kanti isikhathi sokuthela ihlobo. Uma sisemusha, inyama yesithelo iyabonakala ngokucwebezelayo futhi inamafinyila, inephunga elimnandi nokunambitheka okuhle, kodwa ayifaneleki ukugcinwa isikhathi eside.
Kusakazekiswa eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeChina, okuhlanganisa iYunnan, iGuizhou, iSichuan neChongqing, kanye nezifunda eziseningizimu ezifana neGuangxi, iGuangdong neHainan, kanye nezifunda ezisempumalanga-ningizimu ezifana neFujian, iZhejiang neTaiwan. Kuyatshalwa nasezingxenyeni ezisempumalanga-ningizimu ye-Asia. Kunezincwadi ezikhomba ukuthi yethulwa e-Afrika, eMelika nase-Oceania. Ulamula waziwa njengomunye "Wezithelo Ezine Ezinkulu Zaseningizimu" kanye nobhanana, uphayinaphu namalungu.
Ulamula unoshukela, umunyu, futhi ushisa emzimbeni. Ungena emithanjeni yenhliziyo, yesibindi neso. Ungamisa ukumunca nokuhuda. Ukhetho oluhle kakhulu lokwelapha ngokudla kulabo abanokumunca okuqhubekayo nokuhuda ebusuku. Ngasikhathi sinye, unemiphumela yokondla ubuchopho, ukukhuthaza ukuqina komzimba, ukuvusa ukudla nokusiza isibindi. Ngenxa yokuthi ushisa, ukudla ngokweqile kungaholela ekushiseni ngokweqile.
