When are lemons ripe?

1. Maturity Time

Lemon is different from other fruits. It blooms all year round and the flowering period is not concentrated, so the fruit ripening period is also different. However, it is generally harvested between September and November, and can mature as late as December. It has high nutritional value and is rich in vitamin C, so it is very popular.

2. Management methods

1. Reasonable fertilization: Nitrogen fertilizer is applied in the first two years after planting to promote growth and accelerate crown formation. However, in the later stage, we should pay attention to controlling the amount of nitrogen fertilizer and apply more calcium, magnesium and phosphate fertilizers. Before flowering, an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer should be applied to promote flowering and fruiting. After the flowers fade, you should pay more attention to the application of fertilizer. Use phosphorus and potassium fertilizers combined with human manure fertilizers to make the fruits larger and the varieties better.

2. Intertillage and weeding: During the planting period, pay attention to intertillage before drought to keep the soil loose. Intertillage should be done three or four times a year, with a depth of about 15 cm to avoid root damage. In addition, weeds should be removed frequently.

3. Pruning: During the period of vigorous growth, young trees will produce more flowers and are prone to having leggy branches. Therefore, timely pruning is necessary to promote the growth of the main branches. It is also necessary to remove the flowers that are too dense in bloom in time. Dead and diseased branches should be pruned in winter.
