lemon planting time

Spring planting is usually from February to March, autumn planting is from September to October, and lemon can be planted all year round if it is in the area where Rain Water is uniform or where the water source is sufficient to facilitate drainage and irrigation. It is best to choose cloudy days for lemon planting. After planting, you should irrigate enough root water, and then cover the soil with a layer of straw to maintain soil moisture.

Lemons can be planted all year round in places with uniform rainfall or sufficient water sources for drainage and irrigation. Generally, lemons are planted in spring from February to March and autumn from 9 to 10. It is best to choose a cloudy day when planting. After planting, the plant should be watered with enough fixed root water, then covered with grass for moisturizing, and then watered frequently according to weather conditions to keep the soil moist, ensure sufficient moisture, and promote the growth and development of lemons.

1. Lemon blossom time

Lemon trees blossom all year round, usually 3-4 times a year. They blossom and bear fruit many times a year, mainly in spring and summer. The main florescence is from April to July every year, the single flower is only about 5 days, the overall flowering time is relatively long, their fruit ripening time is also different, in 10-12 fruit will mature one after another.

2. Lemon fruiting time

If the seedlings are planted, they will begin to bear fruit in the third year after planting, and the fruit will meet the standard of commercial fruit after 5 years. Their flowering period is from April to May and the fruiting period is from September to November.

Generally speaking, the lemon fruit should be harvested before it is ripe, and gloves should be worn during the harvest to avoid damaging the lemon. The picked lemon can be stored for about 3 months after treatment.

Points for attention in planting lemon

1. Select seeds

When buying seeds, you should choose high-quality seeds and avoid buying seeds that are two or three years old, because the germination rate of aged seeds is very low, and it is best to choose the seeds picked in the same year. You can also save the pulp together until the spring of the following year before sowing. But do not take out the seeds and dry storage, which will affect the budding rate and survival rate.

2. Seed budding and awakening

Remove the lemon pulp, pick out the seeds in the fruit, soak the seeds in clean water for a day or so, remove them and drain them, and then sow them.

3. Soil requirements

Select loose, fertile and well-drained soil to plant lemons to ensure that the seeds grow well, turn the soil deeply before sowing to make sure there are no large chunks of soil, and then apply some base fertilizer to the soil. then pour enough water to keep the soil moist.

4. Sowing method

When sowing, it should be noted that the depth had better be controlled within 4cm, so as not to affect seed sprouting. After sowing, cover the soil with a layer of straw to maintain the moisture in the soil.

5. Daily maintenance

Water should be watered thoroughly for the first time after sowing, weeding and fertilization should be carried out regularly in the orchard, liquid fertilizer can be added timely according to the growth and development of seeds, interseedling work should be carried out 30 days after emergence, and the seedlings with late budding and poor development should be pulled out.
