Black plum planting conditions, growing temperature and climate conditions

Black plum planting conditions

Black plum has a wide adaptability to the environment, grows fast, bears fruit early and has high yield. It is planted in March in spring and matures in early September of the following year. The fruit skin is purple-black, juicy and sweet. It likes a warm and sunny environment and is suitable for planting in loose, fertile and organic-rich soil.

Black plum planting climate

Black plum has strong adaptability to the environment and can be planted in ordinary soil as long as the temperature is kept above 20 degrees. The ambient temperature should not be too low, otherwise frost damage will occur.

Black plum planting area

Black plum is suitable for planting in places with relatively high terrain and good drainage, such as hilly slopes or other places. It is mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian in China. Among them, Yongtai in Fujian Province is the county with the largest plum production in the country.

Black plum planting time

Generally, we start planting black plums in March every year. Of course, we can also plant them after autumn, but their survival rate is slightly higher if planted in spring than in autumn.

Key points for planting black plums

When planting black plums, the row spacing of each seedling should be three meters, and the spacing between seeds should be about three meters. According to this planting density and reasonable planting, the chance of pollination can be increased. About 70 to 100 seedlings can be planted in one acre of land, and the maximum number should not exceed 110 seedlings.

During the seedling period, fertilizer needs to be applied. When applying fertilizer, water must be applied, and the land must be plowed and weeded. The fertilizer applied during this period is generally based on feces and urine, which can promote the growth of young trees. It can also be combined with some urea. Fertilization should be applied about five or six times a year.
