How many years does the orange tree bear fruit?

Orange trees can generally bear fruit after 2-3 years of planting. However, different planting environments and planting management techniques will make the timing of results different. In addition, orange trees traditionally bear fruit in October and November in autumn, but now orange trees bear fruit in winter and spring after hybridization.

1. Orange tree planting conditions

1. soil

The soil layer is deep (60 cm) and fertile; the pH value of the soil is 5.5-7.0; the slope of the orchard terrain is less than 25 degrees. The garden should be planned with the necessary roads, irrigation, water storage and ancillary facilities. In the specific planning, as far as possible to concentrate in pieces, in the traffic, water conditions are good places to build parks.

2. temperature

Orange fruit growth and development requires a temperature of 12.5-37℃. In autumn, flower bud differentiation requires day and night temperature of about 20℃ and 10℃ respectively, and the soil temperature for root growth is roughly the same as that of shoot. Too low a temperature will freeze the orange fruit.

3. illumination

Citrus is a tree species with strong shade tolerance, but good sunshine is still needed for high quality and high yield. Generally, the area with annual sunshine hours of 1200-2200 hours can grow normally. For example, compared with Chongqing citrus producing area with less sunshine, South China with good sunshine and rich heat has high sugar content, low acid content and high sugar and acid ratio.

4. humidity

Generally, tropical and subtropical areas with annual rainfall of about 1000 mm are suitable for citrus cultivation.

Second, orange tree planting time

Orange trees are generally planted after autumn shoots mature in September-November or before spring shoots sprout in February-March. However, different regions are different due to climate, planting varieties and other factors.
