When will the wild fruit jujube mature? I can't finish this kind of food year after year!

Zizyphus jujuba, also known as chicken claw pear, is a common wild fruit in the mountains. It is deeply loved by people because of its sweet taste and rich nutritional value. When will it mature? How do you plant it?

1. Introduction of jujube:

1. What kind of fruit is jujube?

Zizyphus jujuba is a kind of wild fruit growing on the mountain, and it is also a kind of fruit. Chicken claw pear stalk fleshy, twisted, reddish brown; fruit subglobose, glabrous, ca. 7 mm in diam., grayish brown. The shape of the fruit is like ten thousand characters, so it is called longevity fruit. The flowering period is June and the fruiting period is from August to October. Chicken claw pear fruit ripe can be eaten raw, pulp pulp, no kernel, seeds exposed outside the pulp, sweet and slightly sweet pulp, can be eaten raw, wine, sugar, folk often used to soak "jujube wine"; can also be used to make soup, soup taste unique mellow.

2. Where is the jujube distributed?

Mainly distributed in Shaanxi, Gansu, Jiangxi, Anhui, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan and other provinces.

When will the jujube mature?

Jujube is usually ripe around October. Zizyphus jujuba can only mature after frosting, it is astringent without frost, it is not astringent after frosting, and it will fall naturally and pick it up every morning. The ripening period of jujube fruit can be divided into three stages: White ripening stage, brittle ripening stage and full ripening stage.

Third, how to grow jujube with high yield?

1. Land selection and preparation

The adaptability of Zizyphus jujuba is relatively strong, generally growing in the sunny and humid environment, the most suitable place for the growth and development of Zizyphus jujuba is the land with fertile soil, good drainage and irrigation system and moderate PH value. Because there are too many wild varieties, so it has not been paid attention to by people, with the felling, environmental pollution and other problems, resulting in a rapid decline in resources, lack of commodities. Therefore, jujube should be planted on a large scale. After selecting a suitable planting area before planting, we should first dig a planting pit with a depth and width of about one meter, dig the sloping land into fish scales, prevent excessive soil erosion, and put some dead branches and leaves in the pit as fertilizer planting.

2. Seedling and sowing

The propagation mode of jujube tree is mainly seed reproduction, which begins to collect seeds when it is ripe in November every year. The skin of the seed is reddish brown, generally a fruit contains 3 seeds, the seed is leathery, and the mesoembryo is yellow and white, so it is difficult to absorb water. Therefore, it should be germinated with wet sand after harvest, and each layer of seeds should be stored with a layer of wet sand. Generally, radicles will appear after two months. Then you can start to sow seeds, usually in early April when the seedlings can emerge, wait until the seedlings grow out of about 5 true leaves, start to grow seedlings. Stay strong to weak, in the seedling stage should often be watered and fertilized to promote the growth of seedlings.

3. Post-planting management

Because the growth rate of jujube seedlings is very slow, the management of young trees must be strengthened after planting, and it usually takes 5 to 6 years before they begin to hang fruit. Every spring and summer, when weeds grow in disorder, we must loosen the soil and weed in time, and water in time when we encounter dry weather. Fertilizer is applied once a year in spring, summer and winter to promote the growth of trees. The use of modern dwarfing branch pulling techniques can effectively reduce the time for trees to hang fruit. In the second year after planting, when the young tree grows to about 1.5 meters, bend its trunk to achieve the purpose of early and multi-fruit, and improve the economic benefits of planting.

4. Harvesting and processing

When the jujube is not fully ripe, the pedicel will contain a lot of tannins, which will affect our taste and make us feel sour and dry and difficult to eat. After several frosts every winter, the fruit stalk is ripe when the sidewalk is reddish brown and begins to be harvested. Cut off the fruit branches, store them in a cool zone, and in a week or so, you can go on the market and sell them. It can also be squeezed into juice for sale. The main thing is to tidy up the shape, tie it into a small handful and sell it to various bars and hotels.

The above is the introduction of the ripening time and planting methods of Zizyphus jujuba. I hope it will be helpful to you.
