How many years does loquat seed bear fruit?

Loquat, also known as Reed orange, golden pill, Reed twig, etc., originated in the southeast of China, because its leaves are shaped like pipa instruments. Unlike most fruit trees, loquat blossoms in autumn and ripens from spring to early summer. It is known as the "04:00 breath unique to fruit trees". Many friends who like flower farming want to plant a loquat tree at home, so how many years does the loquat seed bear fruit? What are the main points of cultivation?

First, loquat seeds bear fruit in several years.

Loquat seeds are not rare, generally can be bought in seed stations or agricultural markets in areas where loquat production is produced, and their prices are generally about 20-30 yuan per jin. Different markets in different regions will certainly have some deviation in price. Peeled loquat is distributed in most parts of China, especially in the south, among which Baisha is the pond-dwelling soft strip in Yuhang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Suzhou Xishan (green loquat) and Baokeng Jiefangzhong of Fujian Putian are the three major loquat producing areas in China.

Loquat trees, regardless of male or female, generally take three years for self-sowing, transplanting, grafting and planting, and then four years to bear fruit. 10 to 40 years is the fruiting stage, and grafted seedlings are easier to blossom than flower seedlings. If seed species take a long time, at least 5 years, grafted seedlings generally take more than 3 years to blossom.

Second, the main points of planting loquat

1. Loquat seeds have no dormancy period. Loquat kernels should be screened before sowing, and small and abnormal loquat seeds should be removed. Large and full loquat seeds can be sown after washing and drying.

two。 Loquat likes warm and wet, so it is necessary to choose to grow in the overcast, leeward, fertile and well-drained soil, among which the loose soil with more sand or gravel is better.

3. The sowing date of loquat is from late May to early June. There are two sowing methods: sowing or strip sowing. Immediately after sowing, water should be used to water the seedling bed and cover the soil with moisturizing materials such as rice straw or fresh pig grass.

4. Loquat seedlings like shade, and the leaves are easy to burn in strong sunlight, so shade net should be used to build a shade shed after appearance.

5. Loquat does not have high requirements for fertilizer. When 3-4 true leaves grow out of loquat seedlings, thin human feces and urine or compound fertilizer can be applied every half a month, and weeds can be removed in time.

6. In the spring of the second year, the rootstock seedlings can be grafted when the diameter is more than 0.6 cm, and the transplantable seedlings that are not up to the standard can be recultivated and managed to be grafted the following year.

With regard to loquat, we will stop here. If you want to plant loquat trees on a large scale, you should first conduct a local climate survey and learn related technologies.
