How many years does it take for the jujube to bear fruit?

Introduction to planting jujube

The jujube mainly grows in areas below 2,100 meters above sea level and is often planted next to courtyards and houses. The jujube has strong adaptability to the environment and is drought-resistant, cold-resistant and barren-resistant, but it is suitable for planting in deep, fertile and moist soil. The jujube is suitable for planting in spring from February to April and is produced in Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu.

The fruit of the jujube planting for several years

The jujube has a very special characteristic, which is that its growth cycle is very long. It usually starts to bear fruit five years after planting, and more fruits will be produced in the second year. However, with the improvement of current planting technology, dwarfing methods can be used to control it, so that it can bloom and bear fruit in about three years.

Grafted jujube blossoms and bears fruit

After transplanting, the grafted jujube seedlings will grow branches and leaves in the first year and will bloom and bear fruit in the second year. Depending on the variety, it usually takes 3-4 years for the fruit to be stable.

Potted jujube fruit bearing

When the potted jujube will bear fruit depends on the variety. Ordinary jujube trees do not bear fruit in the same year as the seedlings. Most of them will take 3-5 years to bloom and bear fruit. Jujube cultivation mainly uses the sowing method, and the seeds are collected when they mature in November.

Why doesn't the jujube bear fruit?

The reason why the jujube tree does not bear fruit may be due to diseases and pests. If they are not controlled in time, the tree will have few fruits or even difficulty in bearing fruit. In addition, if fertilizer is not applied in time before the flowering period, it will also affect the fruiting.

Key points for high-yield planting of jujube

The growth rate of jujube seedlings is slow and the growth cycle is long. It usually takes 5 to 6 years for them to start bearing fruit. It is necessary to strengthen the management of young trees, loosen the soil and weed in spring and summer every year, water them in time during droughts, and apply thin fertilizers frequently in March in spring, June in summer, and November in winter to promote growth. If modern dwarfing and branch pulling technology is used, fruit can be produced 3-4 years earlier.
