How many years have Shatian pomelo been planted?

There are several kinds of seedling cultivation of Shatian pomelo, such as grafting method, barging method, cutting method, sowing method and so on, but in production practice, grafted seedling is better than barging seedling and cutting seedling. The grafted seedlings of Shatian pomelo usually open and hang fruit in about 3 years, and enter the high yield period after 5 years and 6 years. The seedlings of Shatian pomelo generally began to hang fruit in 6 ~ 8 years, and entered the high yield period after 8 ~ 10 years.

When will Shatian pomelo mature?

Shatian pomelo is a medium-ripe variety, which blossoms around April, and the best harvest time is after late October and mid-November. Although Shatian pomelo has been on the market around the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shatian pomelo is not very delicious before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Shatian pomelo picked after Frosts Descent is better, the mature fruit surface is slightly dark orange, the skin is thick, the appearance is not particularly smooth, the fruit type is mostly pear-shaped.

Shatian pomelo blossoms but does not bear fruit.

The reason why Shatian pomelo only blossoms but does not bear fruit is due to the lack of insect pollination and boron deficiency in soil. Artificial pollination can be carried out for lack of insect pollination, and the best pollination time is from 8 to 11:00 in sunny morning, followed by 4: 7 p.m., but the best method is to raise bees in Shatian pomelo orchard where pollination trees have been interplanted. For boron deficiency in the soil, lime or borax can be applied. It is worth noting that Shatian pomelo is on the shady branches in the crown, so these flowers should pay more attention to pollination.
