How many years does the plum tree bear fruit?

Introduction to Planting Plum Trees

Plum trees have a good adaptability to climate. When planting, they need to be planted in deep and fertile soil, and watered appropriately. They are generally planted in January-April in spring or July-October in autumn.

Plum trees bear fruit after several years of planting

After planting, it takes about 3-5 years for plum trees to bear fruit. You need to choose loose soil that is breathable and well-drained for planting. It is best to build a garden in an area with a low groundwater level, so that it will be easier to grow and the fruit setting rate will be higher.

Grafted plum tree blooms and bears fruit

Grafted plum trees usually bear fruit in 2-3 years and grow relatively quickly. They need sufficient sunlight to grow faster.

Potted plum tree with fruit

Plum trees are generally not suitable for potted plants because they are deep-rooted species that require loose and thick soil, but potted plants cannot meet their growth needs, so they are generally planted in the ground.

Why doesn't the plum tree bear fruit?

If the plum tree does not receive sufficient sunlight when it is growing, it will not form flower buds, resulting in the tree not blooming or bearing fruit. Moreover, it is usually cross-pollinated. If only one tree is planted and there is no pollination variety, it will be difficult for it to bear fruit.

Key points for planting plum trees

When the plum tree is growing, it needs a sufficient water environment so that there will be enough water to use when the fruit tree sprouts new branches, blooms and sets fruit. In addition, when flower buds appear, fertilizer must be applied to the ground.
