When does the imperial orange ripen?

Imperial orange ripens in October.

Every year in June 5438+10, Huangcheng Citrus will mature. Its fruit is orange before ripening and orange after ripening. Citrus grandis has smooth skin and crisp pulp, and the weight of a single fruit is about 135g. When cultivating Imperial Citrus, it is necessary to trim the branches and leaves of the plants regularly, and to sparse flowers and fruits to increase the yield of Imperial Citrus.

Grapefruit is not drought-tolerant. When cultivating grapefruit, if the environment is too dry, it will lead to serious fruit cracking and premature aging of the tree. It is necessary to adjust the watering frequency according to the weather condition to keep the soil moist, but it is not allowed to produce moisture in the soil to avoid grapefruit root rot.

Imperial orange

According to legend, Wu Zetian sent ministers to NSW to worship the six ancestors, and local villagers gave oranges to each other. When the minister returned to Beijing, he presented them to the emperor for tasting. Wu Zetian praised it after tasting it, so she ordered Xinxing County to pay tribute every year, hence the name Gonggan. Because it is the favorite fruit of the emperor, the emerging tribute orange is also called Emperor Orange.

The emerging tribute oranges are characterized by thin skin and crisp flesh, light color, no residue and few stones, and sweet and smooth entrance, which are deeply loved by the general public. According to textual research, Gonggan is a rare and excellent variety of farmers, which originated in Sihui Town, Guangdong Province.

Planting has a long history. According to legend, as early as the Tang Dynasty, tribute oranges were planted in Sihui and Deqing. During the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1 127), it was listed as a tribute by the imperial court because of its excellent quality, hence the name "Gonggan".
