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

Introduction to Planting Actinidia arguta

The soft-fleshed kiwifruit has a wide adaptability to the environment and is resistant to low temperatures, including minus 15 degrees Celsius. It is suitable for planting in gray-calcium soil, loam and sandy loam. The soft-fleshed kiwifruit seedlings are generally planted in early spring, that is, from February to March. They can also be planted in November in autumn, and the effect is better, which is conducive to later growth.

Soft-fleshed kiwifruit is produced in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Anhui, Zhejiang, Yunnan and other provinces, mainly in the Northeast region, and also distributed in North Korea and Japan. Common varieties include Kuilu, Longcheng No. 2, Huanyou and LD133.

Soft kiwi fruit planting results

Usually, after planting, soft-fleshed kiwifruit needs to be cared for for 3 years before it can bear fruit. It usually enters the fruit-bearing period in the 5th year of planting.

Soft-fleshed kiwifruit is suitable for planting in sunny places. It cannot tolerate drought. It needs frequent watering in dry seasons and drainage when there is a lot of rain. It needs timely topdressing before and after the growing season. It has strong cold resistance, but it still needs to take measures to keep warm in the Northeast. When it grows to a certain height, it needs to build a support. Prune in spring and cut off three-fifths to four-fifths of the vines.

Why doesn't the kiwi fruit bear fruit?

The reason why soft-fleshed kiwifruit does not bear fruit may be due to insufficient fertilization, difficulty in differentiating flower buds, or excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer. If no phosphorus or potassium fertilizer is applied, it will also affect flowering and fruiting. Soft-fleshed kiwifruit has relatively high requirements for the temperature of the surrounding environment, and it is difficult to bear fruit if the environment is not suitable. In addition, artificial pollination is required during the flowering period, preferably between 8 and 11 o'clock.

Key points for planting Actinidia arguta

1. Soil management: The soil of kiwifruit should be loosened and weeded frequently to increase ground temperature and soil permeability. Weeding should be done in time from early May to early August. In winter, the soil should be deep-turned to eliminate overwintering pests, which can reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests.

2. Do a good job of irrigation and drainage: Soft-fleshed kiwifruit likes a warm and humid environment. If it is dry, it will stop growing. Attention must be paid to water supply. The soil cannot be dry or waterlogged. Watering should be carried out in time during the hot and dry season. Low-lying areas are prone to waterlogging during the rainy season. Ditch digging and drainage work must be done to prevent waterlogging and mildew at the roots, which may cause plant death.
