How to Grow Mandarin Oranges? Master the Method to Grow Delicious Fruit

Shatang mandarin oranges have a great taste. Although they are not as large as other oranges, they taste better than other oranges. Therefore, the market demand is also very high. More and more people want to grow shatang mandarin oranges. But shatang mandarin oranges are not that easy to grow. Now let the Tuliu.com editor introduce to you the growing methods for shatang mandarin oranges~

I. Growth Habits

Temperature is the most important condition for the growth and development of shatang mandarin oranges. Even a temperature difference of 0.5 degrees can still produce different results. High temperatures are also unfavorable for the growth and development of shatang mandarin oranges. When both the air temperature and soil temperature are above 37 degrees, root and fruit growth will stop. Shatang mandarin oranges are a relatively strong-tolerant tree species, but they also need fairly good sunlight, generally receiving three to four hours of sunlight per day. Their range of adaptability to soil is relatively wide.

II. Soil Management

1. When planting shatang mandarin oranges, the soil should first be deeply turned and the planting holes expanded to mature the soil. It is forbidden to plant wheat, corn, or tall-stemmed plants in the orchard. Do a good job of reasonable intercropping in the orchard, as well as cultivating and weeding. The soil is required to have a deep, fertile soil layer.

2. The soil pH is best at around 6.5. The orchard terrain slope should be less than 23 degrees. When planning the orchard site, there should be roads, drainage and irrigation, water storage, and nearby building facilities. In the specific planning, it is best to concentrate the plots together and build the orchard in places with good transportation and water source conditions.

III. Shaping and Pruning

1. For young trees, light pruning is mainly used. After selecting the central leader extension branch and the extension branches of each main branch and sub-main branch, moderate or even heavy cutting back is carried out on them. Apart from appropriately thinning relatively dense branch clusters, relatively weak lower twigs and shoots should be retained.

2. In the early fruiting stage, continue to select and cut back the extension branches at all levels of the framework, remove summer shoots, and promote strong autumn shoots. In autumn, for trees with relatively vigorous growth, measures such as ring cutting, root pruning, and water control should be taken to promote flowering. During the full fruiting stage, promptly cut back the bearing branch groups that have dropped flowers and the declining branch groups, and cut off light-blocking branches, dead branches, and diseased and insect-damaged branches.
