The natural conditions of Jiasi Town are superior, and the soil and water quality are suitable for citrus growth. In recent years, Jiasi Town has improved the original citrus varieties by replacing them with high piles, relying on investment to introduce large planters to develop new varieties, and at the same time, providing support in roads, irrigation and other infrastructure and technical training to encourage the development of the citrus industry. At present, the town has planted more than 2,000 acres of citrus, including more than 10 varieties such as Taroco blood orange, Newhall navel orange, Caraca blood orange, Wo mandarin, Harumi, etc., covering early, middle and late maturing varieties, which can meet the picking needs of tourists at different times.
