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

Introduction to Banyan Tree Planting

Banyan trees have strong adaptability to the environment and are suitable for planting in loose, fertile, well-drained acidic soil. They are tolerant to barrenness but not alkaline or drought. They prefer warm, humid and sunny environments and are not cold-resistant. Except in South China, they are mostly grown in potted plants and are afraid of exposure to the scorching sun.

The sowing time of banyan seeds is generally chosen from February to April or August to October. This can be done in most areas. The lifespan of banyan trees is very long, sometimes they can grow to a thousand years, but under normal circumstances the lifespan may not be that long, but it is common to live for more than a hundred years.

Banyan trees can bear fruit in three to five years, and the time of fruiting varies depending on the variety. To grow banyan trees, the environment needs to be warm, and the temperature in winter needs to be above 8 degrees. Organic liquid fertilizer should be applied every 15-30 days during the growing period, and alum fertilizer water should be applied once from May to August.

Banyan trees like a humid growing environment. They need to be provided with sufficient water, but no water accumulation. They also need to be provided with sufficient sunlight and appropriate shade when the light is strong. In addition, they need to be repotted, once every two years for young plants and once every three or four years for old plants.

Why don't banyan trees bear fruit?

The reason why banyan trees do not bear fruit may be due to natural disasters, low temperatures and rainy days during flowering, insufficient nutrition during the growth period, malnutrition, incomplete development of flower buds, and degeneration of the pistil. In addition, lack of flower thinning, shade, malnutrition, excessive drought or excessive humidity can also lead to no fruit. Some banyan trees do not bear fruit because of lack of pollination.
