It has a wide adaptability to soil and can grow in poor soil, moderately alkaline soil and calcareous soil. It likes fertile and deep soil and has strong resistance to sulfur dioxide.

The results of planting crisp red plum trees

The crisp red plum tree bears fruit in about three years. The crisp red plum tree likes an environment with plenty of sunlight and needs to be provided with sufficient light for maintenance, but it should avoid direct sunlight. During the growth period, timely pruning of dense branches, dead branches, diseased and insect-infested branches and reducing nutrient consumption can improve the quality and yield of the fruit.

Why don't the crisp red plums bear fruit?

The reason why the Crisp Red Plum does not bear fruit may be that the tree is young and needs three years of care before it can bear fruit. In addition, it may be difficult to bear fruit if it grows too vigorously, the weather is dry or rainy, there is damage from pests and diseases, there are few bees for pollination and fertilization is poor, and malnutrition during flowering will also affect the fruiting.

Key points for planting crisp red plum

It is generally based on compost, stable manure, crop straw, green manure, fallen leaf fertilizer and other fertilizers. The effect of applying basal fertilizer in autumn is best. For adult plum trees, 50-100 kg of basal fertilizer is applied to each tree.

2. Seedling selection: If you want to have a high yield of crisp red plums, you need to choose crisp red plum seedlings that are pure in variety, have intact roots, have strong quality young shoots, are not subject to quarantine, and are free of diseases and pests.

3. Planting: Generally, the spacing between plants of Crisp Red Plum is 2.5 meters, and the spacing between rows is 4 meters. Sowing should be done before April 20. Crisp Red Plum has the phenomenon of self-sterility, and it is not suitable to plant a single variety. Different varieties in the same flowering period should be planted within a certain distance, and the ratio is 4:1 or 8:1.
