Citrus Introduction

Citrus is a common fruit in our life. It mainly blooms in spring every year and has a long flowering period. It is cultivated in many places in my country. It is rich in nutrients, with the highest content of vitamins and carotene. It is the best material for preventing cancer.

Climate and Temperature for Citrus Planting

Citrus is a tropical fruit, suitable for growing in high-temperature tropical areas. The suitable growth temperature is between 23-29 degrees. It will stop growing when the temperature is below 13 degrees or above 37 degrees. The temperature also has a significant impact on the quality of the fruit. Generally, as the temperature rises, the sugar content and soluble solids increase, the acidity decreases, and the quality improves.

In my country, oranges are distributed in Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Hubei, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Chongqing and Taiwan and other provinces and cities.

Citrus is generally planted in spring, which is best done from February to March before the spring shoots sprout, and the survival rate is very high.
