How many years does the black fruit tree bear fruit?

Introduction to planting black fruit mountain ash

The black fruit mountain tree has strong resistance to adversity and strong cold tolerance. It can grow normally in the open field at a low temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius. It is relatively drought-resistant and can grow in areas with an annual precipitation of more than 600 mm. It is generally free from diseases and pests and is not picky about soil. It can grow well from wetlands to rocky slopes. It prefers slightly acidic soil and can be planted in both spring and autumn. It was originally distributed in North America.

Black fruit mountain ash has been planted for several years and has produced fruit

After planting the black fruit mountain tree, it will bloom and bear fruit in the third year if carefully cared for, but the time of fruiting depends on the size of the transplanted seedlings.

After the black fruit mountain ash tree is planted, the hole surface is required to be about 8 cm lower than the ground. If sowing propagation is adopted, the seeds need to be stored in sand after collection and sown in the spring of the following year. The seedlings of the same year need to be protected from cold and overwinter. If cutting propagation is adopted, hard branch cuttings can be used in early spring, or soft branch cuttings can be used in June. After cutting, the soil should be kept moist and shade should be provided, so that the survival rate is relatively high.

Grafted Sorbus nigra blooms and bears fruit

The grafted black fruit mountain tree needs to be cared for for 3 years before it will bloom. The first two years of planting are mainly for vegetative growth (seedling growth), that is, the accumulation of organic matter in the primary branches, and it does not bloom or bear fruit.

Potted Aralia nigra fruiting

Potted black fruit mountain ash usually bears fruit in the third year of planting, but the specific time depends on the size of the transplanted seedlings.

Key points for planting black fruit mountain ash

Black fruit mountain ash is suitable for planting in areas without pollution sources in the atmosphere, water quality and soil, with a frost-free period of more than 110 days, and no serious late frost and hail damage during the growing period. It is best to have slightly acidic soil. Trim the soil in advance, apply sufficient base fertilizer, and choose varieties with pure varieties, large fruit clusters, plump fruits, large grains, purple-black color, and no disease spots on the leaves. Weed and apply topdressing in time, and water at the right time.
