How many years does Moringa bear fruit?

Introduction to Planting Moringa

The minimum temperature required for Moringa to grow is about 12 degrees to 15 degrees, the minimum ground temperature is about 10 degrees to 13 degrees, the optimum temperature during flowering is about 20 degrees, and the optimum temperature during fruit expansion is 20 degrees to 30 degrees.

Moringa can be planted in autumn and spring. Generally, the best time is autumn, with a planting period of up to one and a half months, while in spring it is only about half a month. Its lifespan is ten years. It is native to western Asia. Moringa varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, and Riesling.

Moringa has been planted for several years and has produced fruit

Moringa can bear fruit in one year. The cultivation site should be selected in a place with flat terrain, sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, with no tall shade objects on the east, west and south sides. Fertile sandy loam is preferred. The main types of cultivation are film greenhouse cultivation and plastic greenhouse cultivation.

In order to mature and market early, it is necessary to choose extremely early, early and medium-maturing varieties. To delay maturity and market in late autumn or winter, you can choose extremely late-maturing varieties or varieties that bear fruit multiple times a year. The trellises that can be selected include single-arm trellises, double-arm trellises, wide-top trellises and small sheds.

Grafted Moringa blooms and bears fruit

Grafted Moringa can bloom and bear fruit in one year, and potted Moringa can bear fruit in two years. Good management work needs to be done during the maintenance period. Only under the right environment and careful maintenance can it bloom and bear fruit as soon as possible.

Why doesn't Moringa bear fruit?

1. Some friends may buy seedlings of extremely poor quality when purchasing Moringa seedlings. Even if they are managed diligently after planting, these seedlings will not bear fruit.

2. Moringa has its own fruiting time. Some seedlings are only 1-2 years old when they are purchased. Therefore, no matter how well they are planted and managed, they will not bear fruit so quickly. When it is time for them to bear fruit, they will bear fruit naturally.

3. Fertilizer is very important when planting Moringa. Apply enough base fertilizer and continuously apply fertilizer in summer and autumn to accumulate nutrients for the second year, so that more branches and leaves can sprout in the spring of the second year.

Moringa planting technology and key points

1. Water management: After Moringa is transplanted and survives, just keep the soil moist. Adult Moringa has a well-developed root system and strong drought resistance. Pay attention to covering the bottom of the plant with weeds to cool down and keep it moist. In case of drought, you can irrigate appropriately. In the rainy season, pay attention to draining stagnant water to prevent root rot.

2. Reasonable fertilization: In order to facilitate the recovery of tree vigor after childbirth and the overwintering of trees and increase yield, appropriate fertilization can be applied. Apply thin fertilizer water after transplanting. Before harvesting pods, apply 0.4% compound fertilizer solution once every half a month, or apply decomposed light manure water or biogas liquid.

3. Cold and frost prevention: The roots of Moringa trees cannot tolerate low temperatures and cannot be lower than 5 degrees. Therefore, when encountering low temperatures from the Beginning of Winter to the Spring Equinox, you need to cover them with straw, wrap or whitewash the stems, spray water to defrost after frost, and trim the frozen branches.

4. Reasonable pruning: Moringa grows very fast. If you mainly harvest fresh leaves, you can trim the trunk when the plant is about 0.5 meters tall, and 3-4 meters is appropriate. Every winter, it is shortened to 0.8-1 meter, leaving 2-3 branches to promote branching and the growth of fresh leaves. If you mainly harvest seeds, you can trim the trunk when the plant is about 1.5 meters tall to promote more branches and cultivate an umbrella-shaped crown.
