So as to allow local growers a clearer picture of Fremont tangerines and their cultivation, the TTDARES held the Fremont Tangerine Cultivation Demonstration Event on November 27, 2018. Assistant researcher Lin Yen-yu talked about proper fruit thinning, which first required information on fruit drop. Fruit drop slows in mid-May, making it the best time for fruit thinning. About 40% of the tree’s fruit should be removed at this time. Such technique can boost the percentage of mid-sized and large fruits by 21%. Gao Rui-yun, the owner of the orchard where the event was held, spoke about her experiences growing Fremont tangerines and the importance of fruit thinning. In this way, all present worked together to help Taitung’s tangerine industry make further advances.
