How many years does it take for egg fruit to bear fruit?

Introduction to planting egg fruit

The egg fruit likes a warm environment. The most suitable growth temperature is 20-30 degrees. The temperature must not be lower than 0 degrees. It has a wide adaptability and is relatively drought-resistant. The root system of the egg fruit is particularly developed. It is suitable for planting in loose and moist soil without water accumulation, which is conducive to the growth of the branches and vines of the egg fruit.

The egg fruit is generally distributed in valley jungles at an altitude of 180-1900 meters. It is widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions. It is distributed in Guangdong, Hainan, Fujian, Yunnan, and Taiwan in China. The varieties include yellow egg fruit, purple egg fruit, and purple-red egg fruit.

The egg fruit has been planted for several years.

Passion fruit, commonly known as "passion fruit", was originally distributed in Brazil and belongs to the Passifloraceae family. Under normal circumstances, it can bear fruit after 2-3 years of planting. If it is a grafted passion fruit, it can generally bear fruit in 3 years. The growth cycle of layered seedlings is shorter and it can bear fruit the next year.

Generally, the egg fruit is planted in spring from February to March. When planting egg fruit trees, it is necessary to select excellent varieties, arrange land preparation and fertilization, and plant in time. It is recommended that from March to September, the usual field management should focus on watering, fertilization, pruning, and artificial pollination.

Potted egg fruit

The time it takes for potted egg fruit to bear fruit depends on the situation. If it is a seedling, it will take 5-6 years to bear fruit. During the growth period, watering, fertilization, ventilation, lighting, disease and pest control, and pruning are required.

Why doesn't the egg fruit bear fruit?

If the egg fruit is grown indoors, artificial pollination is required to produce fruit. Just dip a brush or cotton swab in pollen and gently apply it on the stigma of the pistil. If it is planted in the ground and does not produce fruit, it may be because it encounters rainy days during the flowering period, making pollination difficult.

Key points for planting egg fruit

The egg fruit likes moisture and cannot tolerate waterlogging. It needs drainage in the rainy season and frequent watering during droughts, especially during the fruit-bearing period. It has a great demand for water and needs sufficient water. For newly planted egg fruits, nitrogen fertilizer should be used mainly in the early stage. After the plant grows up, the amount of fertilizer should be increased and foliar fertilizer should be sprayed.
