Are orange trees afraid of frost?

1. Are you afraid of freezing?

It is very cold-resistant and has strong frost resistance. It can withstand frost and snow, so it can grow normally in winter and is not afraid of freezing. However, if it is a potted plant, it is recommended to move it to a slightly warmer place indoors, because the soil in the pot is easy to freeze, which will affect the growth of the plant. In addition, do not water at this time to avoid soil caking. It is best to wrap the tree trunk with a plastic bag so that it can have lush branches and leaves next spring.

2. Ways to prevent frostbite

1. Spraying medicine: In order to prevent frostbite, you can often spray special antifreeze medicine on the leaves after the temperature drops, which can reduce the chance of frostbite. After the temperature rises, spray the diluted urea solution every three days. After spraying three times, the branches and leaves will resume growth and grow better.

2. Timely pruning: When the temperature drops in winter, any branches and leaves that are severely frozen should be cut off in time to reduce unnecessary nutrient loss, which can help other branches survive the winter better and is beneficial for flowering next year. It needs to be pruned again in spring and sprayed with appropriate medicine to reduce leaf fall.
