How many years does it take for the ugly pear to bear fruit?

Introduction to Planting Ugly Pear

The ugly pear has strong adaptability and cold resistance, and can withstand temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius. It is suitable for planting in warm, sunny places. It can be planted in spring from early February to mid-March or in autumn from mid-October to mid-November. It has a long lifespan, generally up to 20-30 years, and up to 80-100 years, or even 200 years. The ugly pear is mainly distributed in the Hetao Plain, and the one produced in Linhe is the most famous.

The ugly pear has been planted for several years and has produced fruit

Generally, ugly pears will bear fruit after three years of cultivation. The number of fruits in the first year is not large, and it will not bear fruit in large quantities until the fourth year.

During the growth period of young ugly pear trees, a small amount of quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer is needed. In the second and third years, urea should be applied to each tree. For large trees entering the fruiting period, topdressing is required twice a year. After the flowers fade, full-nutrient quick-acting fertilizer should be applied to promote the development of young fruits. In addition, watering is required in time to keep the soil moist.

Grafted ugly pear blossoms and bears fruit

The newly grafted ugly pear saplings will bear fruit sporadically next year. Its growth rate is still relatively fast, but it needs to be provided with sufficient water during maintenance and maintain sufficient light.

Why don't ugly pears bear fruit?

The reason why the ugly pear tree does not bear fruit may be that too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, which will cause the branches to grow too long, resulting in a situation where only branches grow but no fruit. In addition, when severe weather such as late spring cold occurs during the flowering period, the flowers will fall off seriously. Poor soil drainage and root rot will also lead to no fruit. In addition, the ugly pear tree is a cross-pollinated fruit tree, and the fruit set rate of self-pollination is low.

Key points of planting technology of ugly pear

During the growth period of the ugly pear, weeding and fertilizer need to be applied in time. If the plant grows vigorously, the branches and leaves need to be pruned in time, mainly cutting off the overgrown branches, dense branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, increasing the ventilation and light transmittance of the plant, and reducing the loss of nutrients.
