Orange trees can only grow in places with loamy soil with slightly acidic to neutral soil with pH levels from 6.0 to 7.0.The orange trees cannot grow in excess supply of water or in heavy rainfall. Although in some places, the orange trees might grow but doesn’t grow well or doesn’t give good production of the oranges, it’s all because of a poor condition of supporting the growth of the orange trees by that place. In order for the orange trees to grow healthy, we must know the favorable conditions such as soil structure, soil PH, soil moisture, soil type, rainfall, soil temperature and surface temperature.
