At about 8 o'clock in the morning, the citrus sales point near the south gate of Lu Xun Park began to sell, and the aunt and uncle who finished the morning exercise came by the way to buy a bag back, 2.2 yuan a catty, a bag of 4.6 catties, a total of 10 yuan. "I come here every year to buy oranges, and there is a quota for oranges on Changxing Island, which are always delicious." Aunt Yuan happily took out 10 yuan and bought a bag of oranges. Aunt Xu, who is nearly 90 years old, also bought a bag, "I also buy it every year." ”
According to the Municipal Forestry Station, from today to November 24, the citrus of Chongming Sandao will be sold in 10 parks, and these citrus fruits will be picked and graded from the trees the day before, and then directly delivered to the urban parks the next morning to ensure the freshness of the fruits. This year, after the citrus is picked and graded, the recommended price for transportation to the park is 2.2 yuan per catty.
According to the statistics of the municipal forestry department, Shanghai has a citrus planting area of 51,600 mu, and the cultivation area is mainly concentrated in the three islands of Chongming, of which Changxing Town, Luhua Town and Hengsha Township are the largest, and a small amount is distributed in Jinshan, Fengxian and Pudong districts.
This year, the city's citrus output is about 60,000 tons, which is expected to be the same as last year. Recently, the weather has been fine, and the temperature difference between day and night has increased, which has accelerated the accumulation of citrus sugar, and the sweetness of citrus has been significantly improved.
In addition to buying citrus at home, citizens can also go to Chongming Three Islands to enjoy autumn orange picking.
Changxing Island has thousands of acres of orange orchards, and is committed to building an "urban back garden" for citizens to absorb oxygen and wash their lungs, relax and return to nature. At Creative Farm, visitors can enjoy a tour of the orange grove and a self-catering barbecue.
If you have enough time, you can also take a boat ferry to Hengsha Island to pick oranges, listen to the autumn song of the orange grove and the autumn breeze, and enjoy a paradise that truly belongs to you.
Chongming Island's "Orange and Yellow Crab Fat" theme tourism festival is held every year as scheduled, picking oranges and tasting hairy crabs, which is very pleasant.
After a while, taste the red beauty, and choose the fruit according to the sugar content
The most recent citrus varieties are the Miyagawa variety, and after a while, the sweeter and juicier red beauties in the citrus will ripen and go on the market.
In recent years, forestry technicians have cooperated with universities, scientific research departments, enterprises and other parties to make a variety of attempts in the introduction of new varieties, citrus cultivation models and sales grading. Medium and late maturing varieties of citrus such as Red Beauty, Chunxiang, Harumi, Wo Mandarin, and American Tangerine were introduced and planted in greenhouse facilities to avoid frost protection, breaking the winter low temperature limit in the northern edge area.
The city's citrus industry has also introduced Japan's non-damaging fruit selection equipment, which has been able to grade fruits according to sugar content, breaking the limitations of previous years only based on size.
As an evergreen tree species, citrus trees not only dye the three islands of Chongming green, but also serve as an important "green barrier" for the construction of Forest City, making an important contribution to the forest coverage rate of the city. At the same time, it is also an important economic fruit forest tree species for farmers to increase their income. For a long time, the municipal forestry department attaches great importance to the development of the citrus industry, increases support in the introduction of new and excellent varieties, the improvement of cultivation technology, sales grading and brand building, and vigorously promotes the green prevention and control of citrus, labor-saving cultivation and pest optimization prevention and control technology.
