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

Introduction to planting tangerine

The main producing areas of Satsuma mandarin orange are Guangxi, Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places. The fruit is oblate, sweet and high in sugar. The planting time of Satsuma mandarin orange seedlings is after the soil thaws in spring. Generally, it will bear fruit after 3 years of planting. Pay attention to the temperature, sunshine and water during the growth process. The soil texture is loose, and the yield is high in plots with fertile soil. The varieties are mainly divided into broken skin type and strip skin type.

The fruit of tangerine planting for several years

The mandarin orange tree is strong and can usually bear fruit after 3 years of planting, and will enter the peak production period after 5 years. It is necessary to choose pure varieties of strong seedlings without diseases and insects, renovate the soil in advance, and plant them at a reasonable density in spring from February to March. It is suitable for planting in loose, fertile, deep paddy fields and riverside alluvial soil.

Grafted tangerines bloom and bear fruit

The grafting time for mandarin orange seedlings is mostly in winter and spring, but it can also be done in summer and autumn. If you want it to bear fruit in the same year, the scion must have borne fruit last year, and this year it must have a full flowering period and full branches, and you can use cleft grafting.

Potted tangerines bearing fruit

It usually takes about 3 years for potted Satsuma mandarin oranges to bear fruit. You can water them once a week. Grafted Satsuma mandarin oranges will bear a small amount of fruit the following year. Water them once every half a month during the fruit growth period. At the same time, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. If managed well, the third year will be the peak season. A potted Satsuma mandarin orange can produce more than ten kilograms of fruit.

Why don't tangerines bear fruit?

The reason why the Satsuma mandarin oranges do not bear fruit may be that they encounter rainy and cold weather during the flowering period, and the flowering period may be delayed by about 7 days. If the temperature is high in spring, the flowering period of the Satsuma mandarin oranges may be advanced by about a week.

When the tangerine trees grow too vigorously and the vegetative growth is greater than the reproductive growth, there will be few flowers and no fruits. Such fruit trees are very easy to sprout new shoots and have poor ventilation. It is necessary to thin out dense branches, overlapping branches, thin branches, and drooping branches to enhance the ventilation and light transmission in the crown, which is conducive to promoting the differentiation and formation of flower buds.

Planting techniques and key points of tangerine

1. It is very important to choose good mandarin orange seedlings. Even if they are sick, they have a stronger ability to adapt to the environment. Such fruit trees will not only grow better, but also produce more fruits.

2. Before planting, the soil in the orchard needs to be improved to make it softer and more fertile, because the growth of tangerine trees will not cause insufficient nutrient supply due to density.

3. When the fruit trees are still small, the focus should be on the nutrition of the entire tree, the growth of the crown and the root system of the fruit trees. After the entire orchard is planted with tangerine seedlings, they should be pruned immediately, removing excess branches and leaves, leaving only five or six relatively thick ones on the trunk.
