When does Red Fuji bear fruit?

Introduction to Planting Red Fuji

Red Fuji was originally distributed in the tropical regions of America. It likes high temperature weather and the suitable growth temperature is 23℃-30℃. It has a certain cold resistance and can tolerate short-term low temperatures of -3℃-2℃, but the winter temperature is best kept above 5℃. Red Fuji is generally better planted from late August to mid-to-late October.

The lifespan of the Red Fuji tree can reach more than 10 years. It is produced in the area south of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province. The main types of Red Fuji include Hairy-calyx Red Fuji, Indo-Myanmar Red Fuji, and Southern Yunnan Red Fuji.

The results of planting Red Fuji for several years

After planting Red Fuji, a small amount of fruit will be produced in the third year, and the number will increase year by year. For grafted planting, fruit will be seen in the second year, and fruit will be produced in the third year. It will enter full production after the fifth or sixth year. Red Fuji seedlings in pots will bear fruit after three or four years.

Why doesn't the Red Fuji fruit bear fruit?

The main reason why Red Fuji apples do not bear fruit is due to lack of pollination. There are no bees indoors and no artificial pollination, so they bloom but do not bear fruit. If they are planted in the ground, it may be because of extreme weather during the flowering period, such as rainy days, strong winds, and low temperatures, which will affect pollination and fruit setting.

Key points for planting Red Fuji

1. Balanced alternate years: Alternative years of fruit bearing for Red Fuji apples will lead to an imbalance in tree vigor, which will affect both balanced returns and fruit results. Kao No. 2 should be applied once during the flower bud differentiation period every year to promote fruit bearing.

2. Enhance tree vigor: Red Fuji saplings are weak, so they need to be frequently fertilized with thin layers of fertilizer, and the soil needs to be loosened and weeded in time to avoid nutrient loss. During the rainy season, attention should be paid to drainage, maintaining appropriate soil moisture, and spraying new lipid film to retain fertilizer and water, so that the plants can thrive.

3. Tree shaping: If the branches and leaves are dense around the crown of the Red Fuji tree, it needs to be pruned in time. The top branches should be heavily pruned and the inner branches should be lightly pruned to increase ventilation and light transmittance, so as to produce more fruits with better quality.
