How many years does it take for green jujube to bear fruit?

Introduction to planting jujube

Green jujube has strong adaptability to temperature and is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. It prefers a humid and sunny environment and can be planted all year round in places with water sources. However, the most suitable time for planting is February and March, when the fruit yield is high.

Green dates are mainly grown on a large scale in Taiwan and Hainan. Common varieties include: Gaolang No. 1, Wuqian, Xiangpiao October, Flavored Cream, Wuqian King, Taiwan Large Candied Dates, Huangguan, etc.

The fruit of jujube planting for several years

The growth cycle of jujube is short, and it can usually bear fruit in the same year after planting. Even if it is planted in July or August, it can still bear fruit in the same year, and it can produce high yields year after year, with a high-yield period of more than 20 years.

Grafted jujube flowers and bears fruit

The best time to graft jujubes is in spring from March to May, depending on the weather. In places with water sources, they usually bloom in June and July, and the fruits can be picked in October.

Potted jujube fruiting

Potted jujubes bear fruit in the same year they are planted in Taiwan. They are best grown on a balcony. They usually bloom in August and the fruits are almost ripe in November.

Why don't jujubes bear fruit?

1. The first batch of flowers of the jujube tree will fall and no fruit will be produced. If it is planted outdoors in an area not suitable for growth, it will not produce fruit even if it blooms again.

2. The failure of jujube to bear fruit is related to temperature. It is better to grow it in tropical and subtropical areas with an annual average temperature above 18 degrees. The suitable growth temperature is between 20-35 degrees. It will stop growing when the temperature drops below 15 degrees.

3. The reason why the jujube does not bear fruit may be that there is no pollination tree or the jujube flowers are too small and not fragrant enough, and sometimes they cannot attract bees for pollination.

Green jujube planting technology and key points

1. Fertilization technology: The roots of jujube are fragile after planting. They need fertilizer supply but are easily damaged. You can apply thin fertilizer frequently, that is, the principle of eating less and more meals. Generally, apply fertilizer once every 1-2 times. In March, apply fertilizer in holes, cover the soil and water after fertilizer. In September and October, it will bloom and bear fruits, and you can apply organic fertilizer. In November, apply fruit-enhancing fertilizer.

2. Water management: Green jujube likes a humid environment, and the soil should be kept moist during the growth period. Irrigation should be suspended during the flowering and fruiting period from September to October to allow it to shift from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. The fruit development period from November to December has a high demand for water, so water should be applied frequently. Watering should be controlled during the harvest period in December.
