摘要

荔枝‘台農5號(紅寶石)’是農業試驗所嘉義分所歷經20年選育而成，係‘妃子笑’之實生後裔，於民國97年10月通過農委會果樹品種審議委員會審議，並於民國97年12月取得品種權。本品種兼具高焦核率與產量高而穩定的特性，其焦核率介於30%至90%，而以50%至80%居多，每公頃產量在12 t以上。平均果重18 g至20 g，果形長心形，果皮顏色紅色，果棘隆起，縫合線不明顯。果實採收期一般較‘黑葉’晚7至14天，約為6月下旬至7月上旬，但在南部屏東地區可採控梢處理調整產期至5月下旬。

'Tainung No. 5 (Ruby)' litchi, a new cultivar which was selected from the progeny of 'Fay Zee Siu' (female parent) in 1989, has been released in December, 2008 by the Chiayi Agricultural Experiment Station, Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute (TARI), Taiwan. 'Tainung No. 5 (Ruby)' produces abundant yield (more than 12 t/ha of 5-year-old trees) of fruit that weigh around 18-20 g with long cordate shape, bright red peel color, protruding protuberance and unobvious suture. In addition, there are two attractive characteristics in 'Tainung No. 5 (Ruby)' when it is compared with other main commercially available litchi cultivars: (1) it bears the fruit that have 50% to 80% of shriveled seeds; and (2) its cropping is regular. Fruit were harvested from late June to early July, about 7-14 days later than 'Hak Yip', which is currently the most planted cultivar in Taiwan. However, its ripening season could be forced to late May at Pingtung, which located in southern Taiwan, once suitable cultivation practices are used.
