The results of planting red pepper for several years

Hongpao pepper will bear fruit about 1-2 years after planting, and there is no specific requirement for the planting time. It can be planted as long as the temperature is suitable. During normal maintenance, there must be sufficient sunlight, so that it can bear fruit early.

When grafting and propagating Hongpao pepper, it takes about 2 years to bear fruit. The temperature should be kept at around 20 degrees at normal times.

Potted red pepper with fruit

It takes about 3-6 years for the red pepper to bear fruit when it is potted, so good fertilizer and water management is required on a regular basis.

Why doesn't the red pepper bear fruit?

The seedlings grown from Hongpao Zanthoxylum bungeanum seeds will most likely only bloom and rarely bear fruit. This is because fruit bearing must go through pollination. If many seedlings need to be planted together and then naturally pollinated before they can bear fruit, it is generally difficult. Therefore, grafting is used during planting so that fruit bearing can be achieved quickly.

Key points for planting red pepper

The main ways of propagating Hongpao Zanthoxylum bungeanum are cuttings and tissue culture. Currently, cuttings are mainly used in production. Healthy, disease- and insect-free cuttings should be used, and they should be planted in sandy loam that is rich in organic matter and has good drainage. Watering and fertilizing should be carried out in time during routine maintenance.
