Time to Fruiting

With suitable growing conditions and proper orchard management, grafted Pixie trees may begin producing fruit approximately two to three years after planting. Fruiting time and yield depend on seedling quality, climate, soil fertility, irrigation, pest management and general care.

Suitable Growing Conditions

Pixie oranges perform best in warm, sunny areas with fertile, well-drained soil. They can be grown in several parts of Kenya, particularly where citrus farming is already successful and reliable irrigation is available during dry periods.

Avoid waterlogged land because excessive moisture can damage citrus roots. A soil test is recommended before establishing a commercial orchard.

Planting Instructions

1. Prepare a sufficiently wide and deep planting hole.
2. Separate the topsoil from the subsoil.
3. Mix the topsoil with well-decomposed manure or compost.
4. Remove the seedling carefully from its nursery bag.
5. Keep the graft union above the soil level.
6. Fill the hole and firm the soil gently.
7. Water thoroughly immediately after planting.
8. Apply mulch without allowing it to touch the trunk.

Orchard Management

• Water regularly during establishment and dry periods
• Keep the area around each tree free from weeds
• Apply manure and fertiliser based on soil requirements
• Remove shoots growing below the graft union
• Prune dead, diseased or crossing branches
• Monitor for citrus pests and diseases
• Support heavily loaded branches where necessary
