How many years does wolfberry bear fruit?

Introduction to wolfberry planting

Wolfberry likes a cool environment, has strong cold resistance, and is very drought-resistant. It can still grow in arid deserts. The best time to sow wolfberry seeds is in spring. Generally speaking, more seeds are sown in late April to early May. The lifespan of a wolfberry tree is about 60-100 years.

Wolfberry is distributed in Northeast China, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, southern Gansu, as well as southwest, central, south and east China provinces and regions. Common wolfberries include Chinese wolfberry and Ningxia wolfberry.

How many years of wolfberry planting have resulted in

It takes one year for a wolfberry seedling to grow into a wolfberry tree, and it will start to bear fruit in the second year. During the seedling stage, it is necessary to strengthen the management of water and fertilizer, water in time to maintain the moistness of the soil, and apply thin fertilizers frequently to meet the growth needs of the plant. This can promote growth and cultivate strong seedlings. It is also necessary to prevent and control diseases and pests in time, and do a good job of pruning to lay a good foundation for a high yield.

Grafted wolfberry blooms and bears fruit

The grafted wolfberry seedlings can bear fruit the next year. After 4-5 years of care, the number of fruits will increase. The 6th to 25th year is the golden period of fruiting, and the yield will decrease from the 25th to the 55th year.

Potted wolfberry fruit

Potted wolfberries cannot bear fruit in the same year. It usually takes more than three years to bear fruit. They need to be fed with nutrients and fertilizers, and have good care on a regular basis. If they are not properly cared for, it will take longer.

Why wolfberry does not bear fruit

The reason why wolfberry does not bear fruit may be due to insufficient light and ventilation, which causes the wolfberry to grow too tall, the internodes to become longer, the leaves to become yellow and thin, the growth to become weaker, and the fruit to be reduced or even not bear fruit. In addition, poor water and fertilizer management will cause the flowers to fall off, produce fertilizer damage, and cause poor growth.

Key points for high-yield cultivation of wolfberry

1. In May and June, wolfberry flowers and fruits are sparse and have low ornamental value. The flower buds are usually removed to concentrate nutrients for more fruit setting in autumn.

2. Only under sufficient light can the photosynthesis of wolfberry be enhanced and sufficient nutrients can be synthesized to make it bloom and bear fruit. Therefore, the maintenance environment should not be too dark.

3. During the growth period of wolfberry, the vigorous branches should be topped and pinched in time to balance the tree vigor, regulate plant growth, ease the tree vigor, accumulate nutrients, and promote flowering and fruiting.
