Introduction to Planting Loquat TreesLoquat trees prefer an environment with plenty of sunlight, are slightly shade-tolerant, prefer warm climates and fertile, moist, well-drained soil, and are slightly cold-resistant. The winter temperature needs to be above minus 5 degrees Celsius, and not below 0 degrees during the flowering and young fruiting stages. Loquat trees can be planted in spring, autumn and winter. Winter planting is usually carried out from December to February of the following year in southern my country, while in other regions it is carried out from February to March. Autumn planting is generally carried out from September to October. The lifespan of a loquat tree is generally around 50 years. The fruit will usually mature in May or June of the following year. It is planted in Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and Taiwan. Loquat trees bear fruit after several years of plantingIt takes a relatively long time for loquat to bloom and bear fruit, at least 3-4 years. If it is propagated by seeds, it usually takes 3 years to establish, and then 3-4 years to bloom and bear fruit. If it is grafted, it will take at least three years. Loquat trees have a wide adaptability to soil and are suitable for planting in deep, loose, humus-rich sandy soil. They prefer a warm environment. The annual average temperature for cultivation should be 15-17 degrees, without severe cold weather. The rainfall should be above 1,000 mm and evenly distributed. Seedlings prefer scattered light, but adult trees need sufficient light. Grafted loquat tree blooms and bears fruitThe grafted loquat tree will bloom and bear fruit after three years of care. The number of fruits will be small at first, but will increase year by year. When the potted loquat tree bears fruitIt takes three years from sowing to planting potted loquats, and then four years of careful care before they can bear fruit. If they are propagated by seeds, it may take more than five years before they can bloom and bear fruit. The time of flowering and fruiting varies slightly in different regions and varieties. Why don't loquat trees bear fruit?The loquat tree has a long growth cycle. The lack of fruit may be because the time has not come. You need to wait patiently. If it has not borne fruit after 5-6 years of care, the most likely cause is a problem with the variety and soil. It was not pruned in time during the growth period, resulting in the branches and leaves growing too long and making it difficult to bloom and bear fruit. Loquat seeds are cross-pollinated plants and it is difficult to bear fruit without artificial pollination. Key points for loquat tree plantingLoquat trees are suitable for planting in places with fertile soil, convenient transportation, irrigation and drainage, and sufficient sunlight. The spacing during planting must be controlled, otherwise it will affect the yield. When transplanting loquat seedlings, try to make the tree pit larger and deeper, with a width and length of about 45 cm and a depth of 25-30 cm. Apply sufficient base fertilizer and apply farmyard manure 2-3 times a year during the seedling period. |
