How many years does it take for a pomegranate tree to bear fruit? ...

Pomegranate trees bear fruit after several years of planting

Pomegranate tree is a deciduous shrub. The plant prefers a warm and humid growing environment with full sunlight, with more than 10 hours of daily sunlight. This crop is generally planted in March or November. The main producing areas are Lintong, Shaanxi, Huaiyuan, Anhui, Yecheng, Xinjiang, Zaozhuang, Shandong, etc.

It takes 3-10 years for a pomegranate tree to bear fruit after being planted, but if it is propagated by grafting, it will bear fruit in about 3-4 years. However, the specific time will vary depending on the propagation method and pomegranate variety.

Reasons why pomegranate trees do not bear fruit

1. Pomegranate trees like a growing environment with sufficient light. If there is insufficient light during the flowering period, the pistil cannot be fertilized normally, and the pomegranate tree will not bear fruit.

2. Pomegranate trees are very sensitive to water and nutrients during the flowering period. Do not apply too much fertilizer or water during this period, otherwise the plant will suffer from overnutrition and cause a large number of flowers and fruits to fall.

Pomegranate tree planting technology and key points

1. Planting

Pomegranate trees have high requirements for the environment and are best planted in areas that are sheltered from the wind, facing the sun, and in moist and fertile soil. Before planting, the land must be carefully cultivated and more base fertilizer should be applied. The planting density should be 2×3 meters.

2. Field management

The management of pomegranate trees is relatively extensive. Generally, fertilizer is applied once before flowering and after leaf fall, and tillage and weeding are carried out in time to keep the soil loose and moist.
