Will the golden marble bear fruit if it blooms in August? (Is it normal for the flowers to bloom but not bear fruit in August?)

Can the golden marble bear fruit if it blooms in August?

The golden ball usually blooms light yellow flowers in April, the flower shape is like a bottle, and the fragrance is like orchid. After the female plant is pollinated, it will bear fruit in May, and the fruit will turn from green to orange-yellow after October. In August, basically all plants have already borne fruit , so basically the mother golden ball plant that blooms in August will basically have zero fruit.

(1) Unsuitable season:

After the golden ball blooms, the temperature stabilizes at around 28 degrees Celsius, and the flowering and fruiting rates will be relatively high.

Golden Balls are generally grown in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Due to the regional temperature difference, the temperature will be relatively low after August. Therefore, the probability of fruiting will be greatly reduced, mainly due to the large temperature difference at night.

(2) Unable to pollinate:

There are male and female plants of the golden ball plant, so there are two types of golden balls: those that bear fruit and those that do not. There are also male plants that bear fruit, but the number is very small, but the possibility of female plants bearing male flowers is very small.

So the golden ball tree can only bear fruit in August if it is monoecious, that is, one tree can produce both female and male flowers, or if there is another source of pollination.

(3) The fruit is not mature enough:

After the golden marble fruit is fully borne, the fruit is basically in a semi-mature state from May to August. The fruit's adaptability to temperature changes has increased. The fruit stalk begins to mature, and the fruit can be firmly grasped.

If the flowers bloom in August, even if the fruits are formed, it will take about 3 months for the fruits to mature. In November, the weather starts to get colder, and the fruits are not mature enough and are prone to falling .

The golden ball will basically not bear fruit if it blooms in August. The main problem is the temperature. In addition, the source of pollination is also very critical. Even if there is fruit, the fruit setting rate is very low, and it is difficult to wait until the fruit matures.
