How much does a pomelo tree cost per plant? Detailed explanation of high-yield cultivation techniques
Pomelo is a common fruit. Common varieties include Quanguan and Xiangpao. There are many places of origin for pomelo trees; for example, Shatian pomelo is produced in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and other places. So how much does a pomelo tree cost per plant? What are the high-yield cultivation techniques?
1. How much does a pomelo tree cost per plant?
1. According to China Flower and Tree Network: the price of pomelo trees varies according to their trunk diameter and height as well as place of origin. A Pinghe pomelo tree from Hua'an Pingshan with a height of 300 cm and ground diameter of 10 cm costs 260 yuan; a premium full-crown transplanted pomelo tree with a height of 400 cm, trunk diameter of 15 cm and crown width of 400 cm costs 2,000 yuan. A Majia pomelo with a ground diameter of 0.7 cm costs 12 yuan.
2. According to China Landscape Network: a full-crown premium pomelo tree with a trunk diameter of 25 cm, height of 700 cm and crown width of 500 cm costs 3,300 yuan/plant. A full-crown pomelo tree from Nanchang, Jiangxi with a trunk diameter of 40 cm, height of 800 cm and crown width of 580 cm costs 10,000 yuan/plant. A clumping pomelo tree from Xianning, Hubei with a trunk diameter of 300 cm and crown width of 300 cm costs 700 yuan/plant.
3.

A pomelo tree with a head diameter of 16 cm and crown width of 300 cm costs 600 yuan.
2. What are the high-yield cultivation techniques?
1. Site selection and orchard establishment
Pomelo trees have relatively strong soil adaptability, but the orchard should still be established on sandy soil that is fertile, deep and loose, and has strong permeability and drainage. When establishing the orchard, the orchard layout should be reasonably planned, the orchard area determined, the planting density reasonably distributed, and a series of preparations such as roads and irrigation and drainage facilities set up to facilitate later management.
2. Deep plowing and hole expansion
In the years before the pomelo trees come into production, plowing the whole orchard once is very beneficial. It creates a good soil environment for the growth and development of the pomelo trees. At the same time, within 3—4 years after planting and before coming into production, the growth of the pomelo tree canopy should be promoted to meet the requirements of abundant and high yield.
3. Pomelo pruning
The purpose of pomelo pruning is to achieve early fruiting and early high yield while the canopy expands. Timely cut off dead branches, diseased and pest-infested branches, densely growing branches, thin and weak branches, crossing branches, upright water sprouts growing from the trunk and main branches, and drooping branches touching the ground. For those that greatly hinder tree growth, such as diseased and pest-infested branches and water sprouts growing from the trunk and main branches, cut them off promptly during the growing season; all others are cut off during winter pruning.
Summary: The above is the relevant content compiled for everyone about pomelo tree prices and high-yield cultivation techniques. I hope it can help friends who want to grow pomelo trees.
