Grafted Vajra Bodhi tree blooms and bears fruit

Vajra Bodhi can be planted by grafting. Cut strong branches and place them in a well-ventilated place to dry the wounds. After drying, insert them directly into the soil. Do not plant too deep. Water thoroughly in time and place them in an environment of about 20 degrees for maintenance. Generally, it can be planted nine months after grafting.

Potted Vajra Bodhi with Fruit

Many people grow Vajra Bodhi in potted plants. The potted plants will bear fruit in about 3-6 years. Generally, if the plants are sown, they will bloom and bear fruit in 5-6 years.

Why does Vajra Bodhi not bear fruit?

1. The seedlings grown from Vajra seeds will most likely only bloom but rarely bear fruit. This is because it must undergo pollination to bear fruit. If many seedlings need to be planted together and then naturally pollinated to bear fruit, it is generally difficult, so the seeds must be grafted so that they can bear fruit quickly.

2. If the rootstock for grafting Vajra Bodhi is Queen of the Night, it may also result in a situation where it only blooms but does not bear fruit.

Key points for planting Vajra Bodhi

The main ways of propagating Vajra Bodhi are cuttings and tissue culture. Currently, cuttings are mainly used in production. Select adult stem nodes with good growth and no diseases, with a length of about 20-30 cm, especially virus-free cuttings, and then insert them into loose, fertile, organic-rich, and well-drained sandy loam. It can be planted on flat land, hillsides, and sandy land.
