How many years does it take for yellow peel to bear fruit?

The results of several years of yellow peel planting

The yellow-barked tree is endemic to Guizhou. Its range is narrow and it is mainly distributed in Jiangkou Baxi, Guiting Yunwu Mountain, and Tongzi County Baiqing Nature Reserve in Guizhou Province.

It usually takes 6-7 years for the Huangpi tree to bear fruit. The seeds of the Huangpi tree can be used to extract oil, and the dried bark can also be called "Sichuan Huangbai". After peeling the bark, removing the rough skin, drying it, it can be used for medicinal purposes.

Grafted yellow peel blooms and bears fruit

If the kumquat is grafted late and the spring shoots have not yet sprouted, there is no need to worry. It usually enters the peak flowering period in mid-to-late April. The specific flowering period depends on the planting site, local climate and temperature and other factors.

Kumquat is a typical berry that is not drought-resistant, but the soil in the garden cannot accumulate water, especially during the flowering period, the humidity in the garden should not be too high, so as not to cause flowers to fall and affect fruit setting. Kumquat has a large number of flowers, but the number of fruits is not necessarily large.

Potted yellow fruit

Kumquat potted plants will bear fruit, but it takes a long time, usually more than three years of cultivation. You also need to pay attention to the cultivation methods and provide a suitable growth environment.

Huangpi likes a moist and warm environment. It needs to be watered frequently during the breeding period. The soil should always be slightly moist, but there should be no accumulation of water. It needs to be temperature-controlled in winter and placed indoors to avoid frostbite. In addition, it needs to be exposed to more sunlight so that it can accumulate nutrients better.

Why doesn't the yellow peel bear fruit?

1. Improper fertilization: Under normal circumstances, artificially cultivated kumquat trees can bear fruit every year without any window period. This unstable fruiting period may be caused by improper fertilization, and topdressing is not carried out in time during the flowering and fruiting period to strengthen the flowers and fruits.

2. Unsuitable soil: Kumquat trees are highly adaptable to soil, but are suitable for planting in loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Generally, they can grow and develop as long as there are no serious changes.

3. Excessive pruning: Excessive pruning is also one of the reasons why kumquat trees produce irregular fruits. Appropriate and reasonable pruning is needed.

4. The plant is young: Generally speaking, it takes about 5 years for a grafted kumquat tree to start bearing fruit, and the quality of the fruit in the first few years is poor.

Key points for planting yellow peel

1. Young tree management

The root system of young yellow-bark trees is not well developed and their absorption capacity is relatively weak. Therefore, the principle of fertilizing at this young tree stage should be to apply more fertilizer in small amounts, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, with a small amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

2. Result Tree Management

After cleaning the garden in winter, everyone should prune off dead branches, diseased and weak branches in time. After pruning, they should also do a good job of fertilizing. Note that fertilization is needed before and after fruiting, and top dressing should be done in time when the autumn shoots are developing to promote the germination of mother branches.

3. Thinning flowers and fruits

The flowering period of kumquat is very long, but the fruit setting rate is low, and it is easy for flowers to fall off, which affects the fruiting. Therefore, in order to reduce the loss of nutrients, you can thin the flowers appropriately, cut off half of the flower spikes on the top, and thin the fruits in time after physiological fruit drop. You can cut off deformed fruits, diseased and insect-infested fruits, and small fruits.

4. Fertilizing young trees

The root system of young yellow-bark trees is underdeveloped and cannot tolerate concentrated and raw fertilizers, so young trees need to be fertilized frequently and in thin layers, mainly with nitrogen fertilizers, combined with appropriate phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and trace fertilizers. During the winter, organic fertilizers should be added to increase the survival rate and allow them to overwinter safely.

5. Fertilizing mature trees

After harvesting kumquats, the demand for fertilizer is high, which depends on the soil fertility, the amount of fruit produced by the plants, and the age of the trees. You can apply decomposed bran water, or you can use dry fertilizer. Each plant can consume 200-300 grams of triple compound fertilizer or 200 grams of urea.
