It usually takes two years for yellow honey cherries to bear fruit. The growth and development period of yellow honey cherries is obvious. It usually takes 40-50 days for the fruit to mature from flowering. Flower bud differentiation can be completed in about 50 days under conditions of sufficient fertilizer and water. The grafted seedlings can bear fruit in the second year.

Why don't yellow honey cherries bear fruit?

1. Variety problem : The yellow honey cherry variety planted is not right. It cannot bear fruit and has no pollination ability. Some cherry tree varieties can bear fruit on a single plant because they can self-pollinate. Therefore, if you choose to plant cherry trees that can self-pollinate, you will not have the phenomenon of only blooming but not setting fruit.

2. Poor ventilation : Yellow Honey Cherry needs frequent ventilation during the flowering and fruiting period to ensure better ventilation and light transmission. If planted in a dark and humid environment with insufficient light, the ability to set fruit will be very poor.

3. Improper cultivation and management : Too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied to the yellow honey cherry during its growth period, and the soil lacks phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer and other elements, which often causes it to grow too tall and have overly lush branches and leaves. It fails to form good flower buds in the summer, making it difficult to bear fruit.

4. Lack of trace element boron : Yellow honey cherry cannot grow and develop normally without boron. If the soil lacks boron, or if boron is not supplemented in time, the flower organs of Yellow honey cherry will be poorly developed, affecting pollination after flowering.

Key points for growing yellow honey cherries

Yellow honey cherries have strong adaptability to the environment, are resistant to barrenness, but not drought or waterlogging. They are suitable for planting in mountainous barrens, sandy barrens and slopes. It is best planted in sandy loam with deep soil, fertility and good drainage. The soil must be leveled before planting and planted before the leaf buds sprout in spring, which is around March each year.

When planting, choose seedlings with normal root growth and prune the roots of the seedlings to stretch them. Arrange the main planting varieties and other pollination trees in a ratio of 2:1:1. After planting, water them thoroughly, cover them with soil, and cover the small tree tray with film to keep them warm and moist.
