How many years does it take for calcium fruit to bear fruit?

Introduction to planting calcium fruit

The suitable temperature for calcium fruit is between 35-42 degrees, and the annual rainfall is 400-2000 mm. It generally grows on hillsides, hills and desert areas below 1600 meters above sea level. It is relatively resistant to drought, cold, wind and sand, diseases and insects, saline-alkali and barrenness. Calcium fruit is mainly sown in spring, and the specific sowing time also needs to consider the local climate environment. It can generally live for decades.

Calcium fruit mainly grows in northern China, some are concentrated, some are relatively scattered. The types of calcium fruit include "Nongda No. 3", "Nongda No. 4", "Nongda No. 5", "Nongda No. 6", "Nongda No. 7", "Beijing-European No. 1" and "Beijing-European No. 2".

The results of calcium fruit planting for several years

After the calcium fruit seedlings are planted, they will bear fruit the following year, generally maturing between late August and September. However, the amount of fruit will be less in the first and second years, and will increase greatly in the third year.

Grafted calcium fruit blooms and bears fruit

The growth cycle of grafted calcium fruit is short, and it does not last as long as self-rooted seedlings. In the long run, especially in areas with better farming conditions, grafted seedlings will be the main direction of seedlings for cultivation in the future. Generally, they can bloom and bear fruit in the year of grafting.

Potted calcium fruit

If calcium fruit is potted, it needs to be planted in deep and fertile soil, and organic fertilizer should be buried underground. Because calcium fruit grows in clusters, it can be planted densely. After it grows vigorously, it can be pruned to about 30 cm, and then watered and fertilized like normal plants. It will bloom pink and white flowers in spring, grow green leaves in summer, and then you can harvest the calcium fruit in autumn.

Why doesn't calcium fruit bear fruit?

The failure of calcium fruit to bear fruit may be due to insufficient nutrients. Appropriate fertilization is needed according to the actual situation. Young trees should be given enough organic fertilizer, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added to promote the differentiation of flower buds. In addition, low temperatures and strong winds during flowering will affect pollination and fruit setting rates.

Key points for planting calcium fruit

Calcium fruit blooms easily and the flowers are dense. Some buds or flowers need to be thinned out to reduce nutrient loss and improve the quality of the fruit. It is also necessary to promptly prune dead branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, and overlapping branches to increase ventilation and light transmittance.
