How many years does the jujube tree bear fruit?

Introduction to Planting Jujube Trees

Red dates like warm environment, have strong adaptability, are relatively drought-resistant, require little water, and are suitable for growing in poor soil. Date trees can be planted in spring and autumn, but spring, March to May, is the best time, usually within a week before the date trees sprout. Date trees can live for more than 100 years, and generally 20-30 years is no problem.

Red dates are widely distributed in China. The varieties of red dates include dog-head dates, Huping dates, Ruoqiang gray dates, Hotan jade dates, Aksu gray dates, Kashgar gray dates, and jade dates.

The fruit of the jujube tree after several years of planting

The normal growth of an ungrafted jujube tree requires a certain growth cycle, but compared with other fruit trees, the growth cycle of the jujube tree is not long, generally taking five or six years.

Renovate the soil in advance, then dig deep to a depth of about 20-30 cm, put the jujube seedlings in the center of the hole, lift the seedlings up, tamp them down, and cover them with soil. Do not plant them too deep or too shallow. After watering them thoroughly, cover them with a film to retain moisture, increase temperature, and suppress weeds.

Grafted jujube trees bloom and bear fruit

In order to make jujube trees bear fruit quickly, grafting is usually used to increase the fruiting speed of the trees and shorten their growth cycle. If grafted, the grafted jujube trees will generally bear fruit in 2-3 years.

Why doesn't the jujube tree bear fruit?

There are many reasons why the jujube trees do not bear fruit. To sum up, most of the reasons are: the tree is too vigorous, the tree is too weak, the trees are too dense, the climate is dry, and there is poor fertilizer and water management. These growth problems are common problems in planting jujube trees. Paying attention to management will make the jujube trees bear fruit.

Key points for planting jujube trees

The jujube trees should be polished and opened during the flowering period to concentrate nutrients on the branches, leaves and flowers. Top dressing and watering are required from late May to early June, which is an important part of increasing the fruit set rate and preserving flowers and fruits. Timely pruning is also required to maintain a high air humidity of no less than 60-70%, otherwise it will affect fertilization and fruit setting.
