How many years does the old crow persimmon bear fruit?

Introduction to planting old crow persimmon

The old crow persimmon likes to grow in ravines and piles of rocks beside ditches where water often flows. There is moisture all year round. Of course, it is occasionally found on hillsides, so it is particularly important to spray it frequently when growing it at home. The old crow persimmon likes to grow in ravines among deciduous trees. The old crow likes the sun, especially the afternoon sun, which reduces the morning solar energy and allows the natural morning fog to remain longer.

If the old crow's nest persimmon is planted in May in spring or around September in autumn, it will generally germinate and survive in about 15 days after planting. However, if it is planted on tree stumps dug in winter, the survival time will be longer. It may only start to germinate and survive slowly after the temperature stabilizes next year. Germination will naturally be delayed when the temperature is low, and survival will also be later.

The old crowberry is commonly found in hillside bushes or forests along valleys and gullies. It has strong adaptability to the environment and is mainly distributed in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places in China.

The results of planting old crow persimmon for several years

Generally, the old crow persimmon will bear fruit after 2-3 years of maintenance. If it is too early, it will take 2 years. Under normal maintenance and management, it will take 3 years to bear fruit. In order to make the old crow persimmon bear fruit normally when it goes down the mountain, we need to do a good job of maintenance and management in a timely manner, especially the cultivation work during the fruit-bearing period.

Grafted old crow persimmon blooms and bears fruit

The old crow persimmon can bear fruit without pollination, but there are no seeds inside. Some varieties can also produce abundant fruit without pollination. Grafted old crow persimmons usually bear fruit after 2 years of care.

Why doesn't the old persimmon bear fruit?

1. Age relationship

We know that any plant must reach a certain age to bloom and bear fruit, and the same is true for the old crow's eye persimmon. People have found that it takes at least three to four years for young old crow's eye persimmon seedlings to bloom and bear fruit. If it is not well managed, it may bear fruit in five years.

Furthermore, you should not rush to make it bear fruit during the seedling stage, otherwise, the nutrient consumption will be too severe, which will affect the thickness of the branches and prevent the old crow's eye persimmon from forming a good dwarf shape.

2. Lack of management

The old crow's eye must be pruned properly, which can reduce useless nutrient consumption and promote fruiting. Pruning can be roughly divided into winter pruning and summer pruning. Especially for young old crow's eye tomatoes, winter pruning alone is not enough. Summer pruning will only remove messy branches and diseased branches, and it must be combined with pinching, ring barking, twisting and other techniques to accelerate the differentiation of flower buds.

3. Improper pruning

When pruning the old crow's nest, you can fertilize it. In spring, use decomposed organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer to promote growth and prepare for early flowering. July and August in summer are the period of flower bud differentiation, and you should also use some compound fertilizer. Of course, if you want the old crow's nest to bear fruit early, you need to pay attention to more mild sunlight and keep the soil slightly moist and loose during the growing period.
