How many years does seabuckthorn bear fruit?

Introduction to Seabuckthorn Planting

Sea buckthorn likes an environment with plenty of sunlight, is cold-resistant, heat-resistant, wind-resistant, and drought-resistant, and is not demanding on the soil. Sea buckthorn can be planted in spring and autumn, with the specific time being from April to early May in spring, and from October to early November in autumn.

Sea buckthorn is often distributed in temperate areas at an altitude of 800-3600 meters. It mostly grows on gravel or sandy soil or loess. It is extremely common on the Loess Plateau and is grown in Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, and western Sichuan in China.

Sea buckthorn has been planted for several years and has produced fruit

Sea buckthorn usually starts to bear fruit in the third year after planting and enters its peak fruit-bearing period in the fifth year. Its fruits are small berries with high vitamin C content.

The first step in planting sea buckthorn trees is to select seedlings. When selecting seedlings, you should choose relatively strong seedlings with well-developed root systems. Then you need to choose a time to plant them. The best time to plant is after the rainy season because it is a plant that likes drought and heat. Before planting, you must first deal with the roots, prune and disinfect it, and then plant it vertically.

Grafted seabuckthorn blooms and bears fruit

Grafted sea buckthorn generally needs to be maintained for more than three years after planting before it can bear fruit normally. In the initial stage, the amount of flowering and fruiting is relatively low. It takes more than five years of cultivation to enter the peak fruit-bearing period.

Sea buckthorn fruiting in pot

Potted sea buckthorn grows slowly in the first 1 to 2 years, grows faster in the 4 to 6 years, and then slows down. Sea buckthorn blooms and bears fruit 3 to 5 years after planting, but the amount of fruit is not large. The peak fruit-bearing period is 10 to 15 years, and the yield decreases after 30 years.

Why sea buckthorn doesn't bear fruit

The failure of sea buckthorn to bear fruit may be due to natural disasters, such as frost damage during or before flowering. In addition, failure to thin flowers, shade, malnutrition, excessive drought or excessive humidity can also affect normal flowering and fruiting.

Key points for seabuckthorn planting

During the maintenance of sea buckthorn, diseased and dead branches need to be pruned in time, and callus antiseptic film should be applied to the wound in time to promote wound healing and avoid bacterial infection. Ring brushing with Flower King No. 2 once during the flower bud differentiation period can promote flower bud differentiation, increase fruit setting rate, and balance the year.
