How many years does the jackfruit bear fruit?

Introduction to Planting Pineapple

Jackfruit can be planted on a large scale from September to October. The yield is relatively high in Maoming, Zhanjiang, Shenzhen, Beihai, Hainan, Yunnan and other places in Guangdong Province. It is also cultivated in Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Malaysia. The varieties include oil-crusted jackfruit, yellow-fleshed dry-crusted jackfruit, white-fleshed dry-crusted jackfruit, Malaysia No. 1 jackfruit and so on.

The fruit of pineapple planting for several years

If jackfruit is planted from seeds, it usually takes more than 8 years. The early or late fruiting time will also be affected by factors such as soil fertility, temperature, and planting management, and it is not fixed.

Jackfruit prefers a high temperature, humid, frost-free environment, and is suitable for growing in an annual average temperature above 22-24℃. Seedlings and young trees are sensitive to low temperatures, and too much rain during the flowering period will affect pollination. It is not demanding on soil, but deep, fertile, and moist sandy loam is best. It likes sunshine and cannot tolerate waterlogging.

Grafted pineapple blossoms and bears fruit

Jackfruit (Jackfruit) direct-grown seedlings (without grafting) can bear fruit. Grafted seedlings bear fruit quickly, generally within 4 years.

Potted jackfruit with fruit

The time for potted jackfruit to bear fruit is uncertain, ranging from one year to three years. It is mainly related to the environment of the pot. It needs sufficient care and a temperature of no less than 10 degrees. If you can meet these two requirements, it will bear fruit soon.

Why doesn't the jackfruit bear fruit?

1. If the temperature in the planting area is low or the soil is dry, the jackfruit tree can grow and bloom, but it cannot bear fruit. It needs to be provided with sufficient water and take measures to keep warm.

2. The pineapple tree prefers an environment with plenty of sunlight. If the light in the maintenance environment is insufficient or low, the pineapple tree will not bear fruit or will be unable to bear fruit.

3. The reason why jackfruit does not bear fruit may be that the tree is not old enough. It usually takes more than 3 years for the tree to bear fruit in a suitable planting environment.

4. The jackfruit can bloom, but the fruit stems fall off naturally. This is probably caused by insufficient nutrients. It is necessary to apply thin fertilizers frequently to provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of the plant.

5. There is a problem with the variety of the jackfruit tree. It is very likely that the fake seedlings purchased at the beginning are also possible. Even if you take good care of it, it will not bear fruit.

6. The jackfruit seedlings were originally propagated sexually (seed propagation), and after planting, there was no guarantee that they would retain the excellent traits of the mother plant, resulting in the inability to bear fruit.

Planting techniques and key points of jackfruit

1. It is best to plant jackfruits after grafting. This will not only produce fruits earlier, but also ensure the quality of the fruits produced. This is because the fruiting variability of jackfruits produced by seedlings is large, and the number of fruits is also large. If it is not grafted, there may be dozens of jackfruits on the seedling tree, but only about 10 of them are of good quality.

2. The jackfruit is a fruit tree that can grow very tall, reaching 10-20 meters. If the tree is that tall, it will be difficult to manage and will also affect picking. More importantly, if the tree is too tall, the branches and leaves will consume a lot of nutrients. Therefore, when the jackfruit grows to 1.5~2 meters in height, the trunk must be shortened to facilitate subsequent pruning, pest control and other management work.

3. The more fruits a jackfruit produces, the better. The nutrients of the entire tree must be taken into consideration. If the nutrients are insufficient, some fruits will be small and taste bad. Therefore, the flowers and fruits must be thinned out reasonably, and the fruits must be left on each branch.

4. Another thing to note is that you should apply fertilizer at least three times a year, namely after flowering, fruiting, and after picking and clearing the garden. Pruning must also be done at least once a year, cutting off those branches that are too dense, forked, diseased and insect-infested, upright branches, and branches that affect the light and ventilation of the crown.
