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

Introduction to planting jujube trees

The jujube tree prefers a warm environment and is suitable for growing in places with an annual average temperature above 16 degrees. It requires an effective annual accumulated temperature (≧10℃) of more than 5000 degrees. It can be planted in spring, summer and autumn, but autumn is the best time to plant it. The specific time is from late September to mid-October. The survival rate is high, which is beneficial to later growth.

The lifespan of the jujube tree can reach more than 10 years. The jujube tree is produced in Fujian. There are many varieties of jujube trees, including the Shatian jujube tree and the four-season jujube tree.

The fruit of the jujube tree after several years of planting

The jujube tree starts to bear fruit three years after planting, with an average yield of about 15 kilograms per plant. It enters its peak production period in the fifth year, with an annual yield of 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms per mu.

The jujube tree is suitable for planting in loose, fertile and well-drained soil. It needs to be watered in time during the growth period to keep the soil moist, but it should not cause water accumulation. Providing sufficient light will help improve the quality of the fruit. Fertilizer should also be applied in time to meet the growth needs of the plant.

Why doesn't the jujube tree bear fruit?

The reason why the jujube tree does not bear fruit is that it has not been pruned or pulled, and the weak branches that consume nutrients have not been removed. If there is a lack of nutrients, flower buds will be difficult to differentiate. If the jujube tree has insect pests, it will also affect the fruiting.

Key points for planting jujube trees

1. The jujube tree seedlings grow slowly and need to be managed more strictly. If the soil is dry, water it frequently. Fertilizer should be applied once in March, June and November each year to promote the growth of the jujube tree. More weeds will grow in the spring and summer every year, so the soil needs to be loosened and weeded to reduce nutrient loss.

2. After planting the jujube tree, bend the main trunk when the tree is 1 to 1.5 meters tall the next year to allow it to grow secondary branches. Then pull the branches again to spread out in all directions. This will allow it to bear fruit earlier and increase fruit yields, thereby increasing economic income.
