What should I do if the ginseng fruit blooms but does not bear fruit?

The flesh of ginseng fruit is refreshing and juicy, with a unique flavor and good taste. It is high in protein, low in fat and low in sugar. It is a high-end, rare, nutritious and health-care fruit. Some growers find that their ginseng fruit blooms but does not bear fruit. So what should they do in this situation? Let’s take a look below.

1. What should I do if the ginseng fruit blooms but does not bear fruit?

If the ginseng fruit does not bloom and bear fruit, the trunk needs to be pruned. Only about 4 good branches should be retained on each main trunk. The inflorescences on the side branches should not exceed 3, and other redundant branches need to be cut off. The temperature during the flowering period also needs to be adjusted. When it is higher than 30℃, it needs to be cooled and moved to a cool place. It needs to be fertilized reasonably, and it is best to use farmyard manure.

1. Site selection and fertilization

First, choose a piece of land suitable for growing ginseng fruit. Ginseng fruit likes a warm, humid and well-lit environment, so it is best to choose sandy soil with deep soil layer, good drainage and rich in organic matter. After selecting the land, deep plowing and loosening of the soil should be carried out, and 3000-5000 kg of decomposed farmyard manure and 50 kg of compound fertilizer should be applied per mu of land to provide sufficient nutrients.

2. Seedling raising and transplanting

Ginseng fruit is generally grown by cutting propagation. In spring, select strong, disease- and insect-free branches, cut them into 15-20 cm long cuttings, insert them into the seedbed, keep the soil moist, and they will take root in about a month. When the seedlings reach a height of about 30 cm, they can be transplanted. When transplanting, be careful to keep the root system intact and avoid damage.

3. Field management

(1) Temperature management: Ginseng fruit prefers a warm environment, and the suitable growth temperature is 20-30℃. During the high temperatures in summer, timely measures such as shading and watering should be taken to prevent exposure to the sun and drought. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter to prevent frost damage.

(2) Water management: Ginseng fruit has high requirements for water. It is necessary to keep the soil moist while avoiding waterlogging. During the growing period, the frequency and amount of watering should be reasonably arranged according to weather and soil conditions.

(3) Fertilization management: During the growth period of ginseng fruit, top dressing should be carried out regularly. Generally, compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer is applied every 10-15 days to meet its growth needs. At the same time, pay attention to spraying foliar fertilizer to promote fruit development and coloring.

(4) Pest and disease control : Ginseng fruit is susceptible to pests and diseases, such as leaf mold, black spot, and cotton blight. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen disease and pest control during the planting process. Once pests and diseases are discovered, timely prevention and control measures should be taken, such as spraying pesticides and pruning diseased branches.

4. Harvesting and storage

The ginseng fruit matures in autumn, and can be harvested when the fruit color changes from green to golden yellow. When harvesting, be careful to avoid damaging the fruit. After harvesting, the ginseng fruit needs to be graded, cleaned, packaged, and then stored in a cool and ventilated place. During storage, attention should be paid to moisture-proof, insect-proof, and sun-proof to ensure the quality and taste of the fruit.
