What you need to know about Hybrid Orange Seedling
Acquire your seedlings from reputable farms, preferably at the onset of rains.
If not acquired at the onset of rains, ensure you adequately provide irrigation to the seedlings.
Prepare the field and dig planting holes 60 x 60 x 60 cm.
During planting, use well-rotted manure with topsoil.
Spacing varies widely, depending on elevation, rootstock, and variety.
Generally, trees need a wider spacing at sea level than those transplanted at higher altitudes.
Usually, the plant density varies from 150 to 500 trees per ha, which means distances of 5 by 6 meters or 7 by 8 meters (oranges, grapefruits, and mandarins).
It is very important to ensure that seedlings are not transplanted too deep.
After planting, the seedlings ought to be at the same height or preferably, somewhat higher than in the nursery.
Under no circumstances must the graft union ever be in contact with the soil or with mulching material if used.
Keep the trees free of weeds.
Maintain a single stem up to a height of 80-100 cm.
Remove all side branches/rootstock suckers.
Pinch or break the top branch at a height of 100 cm to encourage side branching.
Allow 3-4 scaffold branches to form the framework of the tree.
