How many years does it take for sugar apple to bear fruit?

Introduction to Custard Apple Planting

Sugar apple prefers an environment with high temperature, high humidity and plenty of sunshine. It needs relatively low temperatures during the flower bud differentiation period, but it will suffer from frost damage if the lowest temperature is between minus 2 degrees and minus 4 degrees. The best weather during the flowering period is warm but not dry and hot. Too low humidity and continuous rain are not conducive to flowering and pollination.

Sugar apple is suitable for planting in spring. The temperature rises quickly in spring, but the ground temperature rises slowly. If you want it to take root and recover as soon as possible, it is best to use quick-rooting powder. As long as it is properly maintained, the sugar apple tree can survive for more than a thousand years. It is also planted in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan, Fujian and other places.

After several years of planting, the sugar apple will bear fruit

After planting, the sugar apple will bloom and bear fruit in 3 to 4 years if carefully cared for. It will enter the peak fruit-bearing period after the 6th year. The fruiting period is from June to November, and it will mature in late August to September.

Before planting, the sugar apple seedlings must be treated and disinfected in advance, and 3-5 degrees Baume lime sulfur solution must be sprayed on the seedlings. The seedlings also need to be trimmed and graded, and graded according to the quality and size of the root system of the seedlings, and the strong seedlings or the good and bad ones must be selected for transplanting.

Grafted sugar apple blooms and bears fruit

Sugar apple is a fruit tree with a relatively short growth cycle. The grafted sugar apple further shortens the growth cycle of the fruit tree. Generally, the grafted sugar apple can bloom and bear fruit in the first year after grafting.

Why doesn't the sugar apple bear fruit?

The reason why the sugar apple does not bear fruit is probably because the tree has no stored nutrients. The saplings are still small at this time and need to be fertilized and watered in time. It will be easy to bear fruit when it is stronger and blooms more vigorously. Sometimes, flower buds are formed, but they will wither quickly without nutrients. You can apply more organic fertilizers and strengthen the nutrition when it blooms.
