1. Planting environment

Red-fleshed honey pomelo has relatively high requirements for the planting site. It should be planted in soil that is fertile, has a deep soil layer, and is rich in humus, and the soil must have a good drainage and irrigation system.

2. Site selection and land preparation

After choosing the plot, land preparation should be carried out. During land preparation, plow the soil deeply to eliminate bacteria lurking in the soil. Then dig planting holes. Because the pomelo tree has a relatively large form, the area of each planting hole must not be less than one square meter. If planting on flat land, make a 35 cm high ridge in the field and dig ditches in the field to facilitate drainage. Fertilization should be carried out together with land preparation to ensure that each planting hole has enough farmyard manure, promote the growth of the fruit trees, and improve the growth capacity of the fruit trees.

3. Seedling management

1. The cultivation of red-fleshed honey pomelo involves many particulars. Generally, it is grafted first and then planted out. After successful grafting, apply manure and urine water, and then fertilize once every month. Ensure that each fruit tree has one main branch, prune excess side branches, and remove tender buds.

2. Water regularly to keep the soil moist and avoid poor growth of the fruit trees.

3. Observe the growth of the fruit trees, and unbind them in time one month after grafting, which helps the wounds heal. When the new shoot stem of the fruit tree is found to have grown to 16 cm, it can be planted out.

4. Fertilizer and water management

1. The red-fleshed honey pomelo tree has a very large form and bears a large amount of fruit, so the fruit trees have a great demand for nutrients. During one year of cultivation, at least six topdressings are required, and the amount of topdressing during its fruiting period accounts for more than half of the total fertilizer used during the entire growth period.

2. When the fruit trees are in the flowering period, apply one additional fertilizer, mainly compound fertilizer and urea, which can promote the growth of side branches and increase the flowering rate.

3. When the fruit trees are in the fruiting period, apply one additional fruit-strengthening fertilizer and organic fertilizer to improve the fruit-setting rate and increase yield. Overall, everyone should control the application of water and fertilizer according to the age of the fruit trees and the soil conditions to meet the growth needs of the fruit trees.
