How long is the growth cycle of persimmon?

Persimmon Growth Introduction

Persimmon tree is a positive tree species. It likes to grow in warm climates and sunny environments. It grows well in deep, fertile, moist and well-drained soil. It is suitable for neutral soil and is cold-resistant, barren-resistant and drought-resistant.

The native place of persimmon tree is in the Yangtze River Basin of my country. It is now cultivated in western Liaoning, southern Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan, Taiwan Province, etc. It is also planted in North Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, Oceania, Algeria in North Africa, France, the Soviet Union, the United States, etc.

Persimmon growth cycle

The growing period of a persimmon tree generally refers to the period from the time the grafting is successful to the time the tree bears its first fruit. During this period, the tree mainly grows nutritionally. The growing period of a persimmon tree is generally 2-5 years, and it will begin to bear fruit at this time.

Persimmon growth rate

In spring, the persimmon tree will grow many young buds. As it continues to grow, it will turn into small leaves in summer. When autumn approaches, small persimmons will grow at the roots of the leaves. After September, they will gradually grow and mature.

Persimmon trees will start bearing fruit 5 to 6 years after grafting, and will enter the peak fruit-bearing period 10 to 12 years after planting. Its seedling trees bear fruit later, about 7 to 8 years after sowing.

Persimmon Growth Cycle Management

The yield of persimmon trees in their peak production period is 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms per mu. After years of cultivation, there are many varieties, so the yield is not the same, and each stage has its own characteristics. The growth process of persimmon trees is divided into several stages: growth period, early fruiting period, peak fruiting period, and aging period.

Temperature management: The annual average temperature of persimmon trees is 10-21.5℃, and the most suitable annual average temperature is 13℃-19℃. Within this range, there is no frost damage in winter and no sunburn in summer. Flower buds are easily formed and the fruit quality is good.

Fertilization management: Persimmon fertilization is generally divided into two types: base fertilizer and topdressing. The specific situation depends on the variety, fertilizer requirements, and tree growth and fruiting conditions. Generally, it is best to apply fertilizer four times a year.
