How many years does it take for oranges to bear fruit?

Introduction to Orange Planting

Oranges prefer warm, humid, sunny environments, are cold-resistant, bloom in spring, and their fruits ripen from October to December. The economic life of oranges is generally 40 to 50 years, but in recent years, various places have used dwarfing and dense planting techniques, which can allow them to enter the peak fruit-bearing period earlier, but their economic life is shortened.

There are many provinces and regions in my country that grow oranges, among which the main orange-producing provinces include Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Hubei, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Chongqing and other provinces.

There are many types of oranges, including sugar orange, mandarin orange, tribute orange, Changxing Island orange, Huangyan orange, sumac, navel orange, mandarin orange, four-season orange, golden egg fruit, sweet orange, fortune orange, leaf orange, Tiantai Mountain mandarin orange, tribute orange, Huangyan mandarin orange, etc.

Oranges have been planted for several years.

How many years it takes for oranges to bear fruit depends on the size of the seedlings and the usual maintenance conditions. Generally speaking, if the seedlings are more than 1 meter tall, they will bear fruit after three years of maintenance. You must ensure the supply of water and fertilizer. If the place where you grow them is too dry, they will not bear fruit.

Grafted oranges bloom and bear fruit

If the scion is a branch that has borne fruit, it may bear fruit one year after grafting. If the scion is grafted with flower buds, it will bear fruit soon. Apart from this, it will bear fruit in 2-3 years if the nutrition is sufficient.

Potted orange fruit

Potted orange trees can bear fruit after 2-3 years of care. Orange trees like light and are drought-tolerant. When the soil is dry, they need to be watered thoroughly. If the air is dry, they need to be sprayed with water appropriately. It is better to place them in a bright place on the balcony. Take measures to keep warm in winter. Orange trees like fertilizer and add some nutrient solution when watering to promote flowering and fruiting.

Why don't oranges bear fruit?

The reason why oranges do not bear fruit may be because of excessive fertilizer and water management, dark maintenance environment, difficulty in differentiating flower buds, and degeneration of pistils. In addition, low temperatures or heavy rain during flowering will affect pollination and make it difficult to bear fruit.

Orange planting technology and key points

When planting oranges, a humid and high-temperature environment must be provided, because only in this environment can it continuously accumulate its own nutrients and yield. When planting oranges, attention must also be paid to the control of water volume, because in winter, oranges are generally not watered to avoid frost damage.

When planting oranges, it is necessary to mix fertilizers, because this will allow the oranges to have different growth and yields, and can highlight the oranges. Sometimes we choose to plant small oranges, which are more convenient to eat and easy to preserve.
