In South Africa and neighbouring citrus-producing countries, the claimed benefits of ultra-high planting densities, in which trees are planted at more than 1000/ha, have led to growers establishing many such plantings on a semi-commercial scale over the past 4 years. In recognition of the need to couple such planting with tree dwarfing, growers have used angle planting as a means of reducing the rate of tree growth.
