How many years does the miracle fruit tree bear fruit?

Introduction to Planting Miracle Fruit Trees

Miracle fruit prefers a hot and humid environment. It is suitable for growing in tropical and subtropical low-altitude humid areas. It has a certain degree of drought and cold resistance and can tolerate 3-5 degrees. It is suitable for planting in well-drained, slightly acidic or neutral sandy loam. It is suitable for planting in spring and autumn, specifically in March-April and October.

The miracle fruit was originally distributed in Ghana and Congo in West Africa. It is cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It has also been introduced for cultivation in China, and grows well in Hainan, Yunnan, Guangxi and other places.

Miracle fruit trees bear fruit after several years of planting

Miracle fruit grows relatively slowly. If it is planted by seeds, it will take 5-6 years to bear fruit. If it is planted by seedlings, it will generally take 3-4 years to bear fruit after planting.

After the miracle fruit is ripe, the seeds can be harvested in time. It is best to sow them as soon as they are harvested. Rinse the pulp and peel with clean water, take out the seeds, place them in a ventilated place to dry, and sow them evenly on the prepared sand bed. After sowing, cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. The seeds will germinate after about 15 days, and when the seedlings grow to 5-8 cm in height, they can be moved into seedling bags for cultivation.

Why the miracle fruit tree doesn't bear fruit

In the first case, the miracle fruit does not bear fruit because of problems with the planting environment. It is possible that pollination is not completed, resulting in the situation where only flowers bloom but no fruit is produced.

The second situation is that the plant only blooms but does not bear fruit because of careless fertilization. Some people just bought a miracle fruit that had flowers and fruits. When it was blooming, they applied compound fertilizer to the miracle fruit. As a result, the flowers began to wither. After spraying it with Lecithin, the miracle fruit began to bear fruit again. This is because compound fertilizer cannot be used when the miracle fruit is blooming, and excessive water cannot be poured.

Key points for planting miracle fruit trees

Miracle fruit can be planted in spring and autumn. The planting density needs to be controlled. The spacing between plants and rows should be determined according to the size of the plants. Before planting, base fertilizer should be applied to the planting hole according to the fertility of the soil. Compound fertilizer, organic fertilizer and soil can be mixed and stirred, and then placed in the planting hole. After planting, it should be stepped on firmly. The soil should be kept moist within 10 days after planting.
