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

Introduction to Planting Ginseng Fruit Trees

The ginseng fruit tree has a wide adaptability to soil and grows better in sandy soil with more humus and good drainage. It likes a warm and dry environment. The suitable temperature for growth is 18-25℃. The temperature must not be lower than 0 degrees, otherwise it will be damaged by frost.

Ginseng fruit is a plant of the Solanaceae family. Its lifespan is generally about 8 years. It is distributed in Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi, Guangxi and other places in China.

Ginseng fruit trees bear fruit after several years of planting

Ginseng fruit trees bear fruit once a year. When planting, you must first prepare the soil. It is best to use loose soil, choose plump, uniformly sized seeds without mold spots, and use warm water or drugs to germinate them, which can make them germinate faster. After germination, sow the seeds in the soil, cover them with a layer of fine sand, and spray water appropriately. If the temperature is low, cover them with a layer of plastic film to keep them warm.

The ginseng fruit tree has a short growth cycle and can bear fruit in one year, but if it is not properly maintained and managed, it may take two or even three years to bear fruit.

Why doesn't the ginseng fruit tree bear fruit?

If the ginseng fruit blooms but does not bear fruit, it may be because it was not pruned in time, the temperature was too high during the flowering period, or there was insufficient fertilizer. Pruning work needs to be done well, leaving 3 to 5 branches on each plant, and the rest of the branches need to be cut off.

The ginseng fruit tree needs proper temperature adjustment when it enters the flowering period. When the temperature is higher than 30 degrees, it is not suitable for flowering and fruiting. Therefore, the plant needs to be moved to a cool place for growth. It also needs to be fertilized reasonably, preferably farmyard manure.

Key points for planting ginseng fruit trees

The cuttings of ginseng fruit seedlings can sprout 1 to 4 main branches, and more side branches will grow on the main branches. The number of main branches and side branches to be kept should be adjusted according to the season, density and other conditions. Usually, 2 main branches are kept in a denser plant and 3 main branches are kept in a sparser plant.

Do not keep any side branches in the early stage, and keep 1 to 2 side branches in the middle stage, so that 5 to 7 side branches can be guaranteed in the later stage. If the planting is dense, the side branches can be pruned to ensure ventilation and light density. The excess side branches can be collected and used as feed.
