How many years does it take for Brazil red fruit to bear fruit?

Introduction to Brazil Nut Planting

Brazil red fruit is a plant of the Myrtaceae family, Eugenia genus, also known as red fruit and Eugenia. Most of them are distributed in tropical America and have been introduced in tropical areas of all continents. There are not many planted in my country, mainly concentrated in Taiwan. Because of its high requirements for the environment, it is also called noble fruit in Brazil.

After the Brazilian red fruit is planted, it can bear small amounts of fruit in 2-3 years if managed properly. In my country, it will generally only bloom and bear fruit in places with warm climates such as southern Guangdong and Hainan Province. It may bloom and bear fruit if it is maintained in a greenhouse in the north.

Brazil red fruit can be sown and root grafted. Harvest the fruit in time after it matures, take out the seeds, and plant them as soon as they are harvested. Sow the seeds directly in a suitable substrate. Keep the soil moist after sowing. Seedlings will emerge after 30 days. Root grafting is done when repotting in spring. Cut the thick roots directly and plant them separately. New roots will grow soon after planting, and the survival rate is extremely high.

Why Brazil Red Fruit Does Not Bear Fruit

The reason why the Brazilian red fruit does not bear fruit is that the light is too weak. If the environment is dark, it will affect the differentiation of flower buds. Excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer will cause the branches and leaves to grow too long and make it difficult to bear fruit. Failure to pinch the top in the early stages of growth or to undergo artificial assisted pollination will also result in no fruit bearing.

Brazil red fruit planting tips

Brazil red fruit is suitable for planting in loose, fertile, well-drained, humus-rich slightly acidic sandy soil. It should be placed in a sunny and well-ventilated place during the growing season. During the high temperatures in summer, it should be properly shaded to prevent exposure to the sun. Water it in time to keep the soil moist. Apply a thin portion of liquid fertilizer once every half a month, and add phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering.

When watering during the flowering period, do not pour water on the flowers. Make sure to drain the water well during the rainy season to avoid flower falling. Since the flowering period is in winter, there are no bees to pollinate at this time. Artificial pollination can be carried out every morning to increase the amount of fruit set.
