Generally, it will bear fruit in the fifth year of planting, and about 10 years will be the period of full yield and high yield. The first year is sowing, after seedling emergence, cultivation and growth, about a year later can be transplanted, transplanted can be cultivated for several years, these years the tree body is constantly growing, perfect branch group. The tree matures and blossoms in about 4 to 5 years.

2. Planting

Choose a suitable place for seedbeds. Choose land that has not been planted with citrus plants, ordinary deep sandy loam soil, or loam soil. An mu of 2000 jin farm manure, buried in the soil, tidied up the land to make seedbeds can be sown. After emergence, seedlings are cultivated for a long time.
