How often should I water my jujube tree?

The date tree does not need to be watered too frequently during the cultivation process. If it is not a drought year, it is generally sufficient to water it in the spring before budding, during the young fruit stage, during the fruit expansion stage, after the fruit is harvested, and before the soil freezes. If the climate is dry, irrigation can be carried out. Be careful not to allow water to accumulate for a long time. It is best to use well water, river or lake water for watering.

Jujube tree watering method

1. Observe the dates : The dates on the date tree look gray in color and lack moisture when eaten. This is because the date tree lacks water. Watering the date tree will make the dates crisp, sweet and juicy.

2. Watering during the peak growing season : Jujube trees require a lot of water during the growth process, especially in the early growth stage when precipitation is small. Drought in the early stage can easily cause late germination, incomplete development of various organs, and severe physiological fruit drop. Therefore, jujube trees should be watered appropriately when they are dry before the rainy season arrives.

Precautions for watering jujube trees

1. Watering during the flowering period : Watering should be done during the early flowering period from late May to early June. At this time, the weather is dry and the air humidity is low. You should combine foliar fertilizer spraying with crown spraying to prevent flower scorch and increase fruit setting rate.

2. Fruit-preserving water : This is usually done in early July. This is the rapid growth stage of young fruits of the jujube tree, and the water demand is relatively large. Combined with topdressing and watering, it can promote the division and enlargement of jujube cells, which is very beneficial to increasing the yield of jujube trees.

What to do if the jujube tree is overwatered

Remove the pathogens and burn them in time, choose disease-free seedlings for planting, do not plant too deep, and the grafting point should be exposed to the ground to prevent the pathogens from invading through the wound. Drain and ventilate in time, which will be beneficial to the recovery of the jujube tree.
