What fruits are suitable for growing in the Ganzhou area?
Ganzhou is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Jiangxi Province, and also the prefecture-level city with the largest area and the largest population in Jiangxi Province, so what fruits are suitable for growing in Ganzhou?
The fruits suitable for growing in Ganzhou include navel oranges, persimmons, pomelos and other fruits. Ganzhou's climate is a humid subtropical monsoon climate, so many tropical and subtropical fruits cannot be grown there.
1. Navel orange
Southern Jiangxi navel orange is a specialty of Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, so growing navel oranges in Ganzhou is very suitable. The Southern Jiangxi navel orange is large and well-shaped, generally 250 grams each, with a slightly deeper color than other oranges, and its flesh is crisp and tender, melting in the mouth, and very delicious.
The mountainous land in Ganzhou is mainly Quaternary red soil, with a small amount of purple soil and mountain yellow soil. The soil layer is deep, and with slight improvement it can be made into high-standard navel orange orchards.
Red soil has the characteristics of a deep soil layer, slightly acidic soil, and relatively low organic matter content, making it suitable for navel orange growth.
2. Persimmon
Persimmon is a plant of the genus Diospyros in the family Ebenaceae. It is cultivated in many places in China and is a tree species with relatively strong adaptability. There are many varieties of persimmon cultivated in China, among which the more famous varieties are: Gongcheng water persimmon from northern Guangxi, Damopan persimmon from Shanxi, Huojing persimmon from Lintong in Shaanxi, and Jixin persimmon from Sanyuan.
3. Pomelo
Pomelo is a tree of the genus Citrus in the family Rutaceae. Pomelo trees have relatively broad adaptability to soil types and soil pH, but the soil should have good permeability, be loose, with a porosity above 10% and an oxygen content above 6%. Soil compaction and excessive water lead to insufficient oxygen in the soil, and can also produce hydrogen sulfide, nitrous acid, ferrous oxide and other substances that poison the root system, causing root rot.
Among citrus, pomelo is relatively shade-tolerant, but for good quality and high yield it still needs relatively good light conditions. However, pomelo avoids strong light exposure, and diffused light is more conducive to pomelo photosynthesis than direct light.
