Mangji persimmon is suitable for growing on various types of soil, but it can't adapt to calcareous soil, sandy alluvial soil and sandy soil with low humus. In tropical areas, loam and loam with air permeability, depth, good drainage, slight acidity and rich organic matter are most suitable for the growth of mangosteen.
In order to ensure the water needed for the growth of mangosteen, irrigation supporting projects such as Hegou Mountain Spring, Zisui Well and Shantang Reservoir should be used according to local conditions, and self-built reservoirs should be used for water storage in dry season or self-pressure sprinkler irrigation in orchards. The size of the reservoir should be built according to the water demand of each fruit tree.
Extended data:
Mangji persimmon is a typical tropical rainforest fruit tree. When the temperature drops below 20℃, the growth of mangosteen will be obviously inhibited. When the temperature is lower than 5℃ or higher than 40℃ for a long time, mangosteen plants will die.
The early growth of Mangji persimmon needs weak light environment, and the shading degree of 40%-75% is the most suitable for the growth of mangji persimmon. Under direct light, mangosteen leaves, especially newly-pumped leaves, are easily burned by strong light.
The life span of Mangji persimmon is as long as 70 years, but it grows slowly, and it takes seven or eight years from cultivation to fruiting. The fruit ripens in10-1February, and the yield is higher in1-1February.
