How many years does red kiwi fruit bear fruit

Introduction to planting red kiwifruit

Red-heart kiwifruit is suitable for growing in places that are sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, with a large temperature difference between day and night. It is not tolerant of waterlogging and cannot be planted in areas where disastrous weather such as strong winds, hail, and severe droughts often occur. Red-heart kiwifruit seedlings are suitable for spring planting from October in autumn to March of the following year. Common varieties include Hongyang, Honghua, Chuhong, and Donghong.

The results of planting red kiwifruit for several years

If a suitable growing environment is provided for the red-heart kiwifruit, it will generally take five years for it to bear fruit. If properly cared for, it will bear fruit in four years.

According to Uncle Li, a red kiwifruit grower in Sichuan, potted kiwifruit generally bears fruit in three years, enters peak production in five years, and has a growth cycle of 60 years.

Key points for planting red kiwifruit

1. In April, when the ground temperature reaches 15°C, it is the suitable sowing period. Soak the seeds in 47-degree water in advance, soak them for another 24 hours after natural cooling, then mix them with wet sand, put them in a container, and place them in a dark environment. Provide a temperature of minus 3 degrees. Check and turn them over every week. It takes 40 to 60 days.

2. Kiwi seeds are very small and are suitable for planting in loose, well-drained sandy loam with a pH of about 7. Apply organic fertilizer in advance, disinfect the soil with furadan, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, etc. before sowing, and then renovate it.

3. Water thoroughly 2 days before sowing. After sowing, cover the seeds with sieved fine fertilizer soil, just enough to cover them. Then cover them with a layer of straw. Remember to spray water frequently to keep the soil moist.

4. Intertillage and weeding: July has a lot of rain, with overgrown weeds and many pests and diseases. Intertillage and weeding must be carried out in a timely manner to improve soil permeability, improve the orchard's ecological environment, reduce soil moisture, reduce the breeding environment for pests and diseases, and improve the tree's resistance to pests and diseases. You can cover the tree tray with grass to keep the soil loose and breathable.

5. Drainage and dehumidification: There is a lot of rain in July, and water easily accumulates in the soil. The dark and humid environment is not conducive to the growth of red-heart kiwifruit. It is easy for the roots to die due to lack of nutrients and rot. It is necessary to drain the water in time, expose the root neck and part of the root system, and use varieties such as Liangdun and Mexacodyl to irrigate the roots.
