How many years does red pomelo bear fruit?

Introduction to planting red pomelo

Red-heart pomelo is suitable for growing in places with an annual average temperature above 16 degrees, and requires an effective annual accumulated temperature (≧10℃) above 5000℃. It can be planted in spring, summer and autumn, but autumn planting has the best effect. It is planted from late September to mid-October every year, with a high survival rate and favorable growth.

The lifespan of a red pomelo tree can reach more than 10 years. The main producing area is Fujian. There are many varieties of red pomelo, including Shatian pomelo, four-season pomelo, red-heart pomelo, etc.

The results of planting red pomelo for several years

After red pomelo is planted, it will produce a small amount of fruit in 3 years, with an average yield of about 15 kilograms per plant. It will enter the peak fruit-bearing period in the fifth year, with a yield of 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms per mu.

Grafted red pomelo blooms and bears fruit

The grafted red-heart pomelo will bear fruit in the second year, and in the third year. It will enter full production after the fifth or sixth year. If the maintenance environment is poor, the time will be longer.

Potted red pomelo with fruit

The red pomelo seedlings will be able to bear fruit after three or four years of potted planting. During this period, they need to be provided with sufficient light so that the quality of the fruit will be high. They cannot be moved to a dark place and left alone. In addition, they need to be watered and fertilized in time to meet the nutrient needs of the plant so that it can grow healthily.

Why doesn't red pomelo bear fruit?

The reason why red-heart pomelo does not bear fruit may be that pruning and branch pulling are not carried out, and the weak branches that consume nutrients on the fruit tree are not removed, resulting in a lack of nutrients during the differentiation of flower buds. In addition, if the fruit tree has insect pests and they are not controlled in time, it will also affect the fruiting.
