Where are the suitable planting conditions and climate requirements for citrus and satsuma?

The growth, development, flowering and fruiting of citrus are closely related to environmental conditions such as temperature, sunshine, moisture, soil, altitude, topography and slope direction. These conditions have the greatest influence on several temperatures, even a temperature difference of 0.5 degrees will affect its growth.

Planting climate of Shatangju

The suitable growth temperature of Shatangju is 12.5-37. The flower bud differentiation in autumn needs about 20 during the day and 10 at night. The soil temperature for root growth is roughly the same as the ground temperature. Too high temperature is not conducive to the growth and development of Shatangju. The temperature and soil temperature should not be higher than 37℃, which is shade-tolerant, but good sunshine is still needed for high quality and high yield.

Shatangju planting area

Satsuma oranges are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, with an annual rainfall of about1000 mm. If the soil moisture content is lower than 60%, it is necessary to replenish water in time. If there is too much rain, the soil will accumulate water, leading to root death. For citrus trees, the relative humidity of the air should be around 75%. Citrus does not require much soil, and can grow in purple soil, red and yellow soil, beach and tidal flat with pH value of 4.5~8, and the optimum pH value is 5.5~6.5. Citrus is mainly distributed in Huaiji, Guangning, Sihui, Yunfu, Guilin, Xilin and Fengkai areas.

Planting time of Shatangju

Citrus seedlings are generally planted in spring and autumn, specifically in March-April and mid-June of 10. Generally speaking, the weather in these two periods was relatively warm and the climatic conditions were relatively suitable. After planting, the survival rate of seedlings will be higher and they can grow rapidly.
