It can blossom 12-15 times a year. The fruit-bearing period is from April to November, and the fruit ripens 30-40 days after flowering.
How much fruit can a tree bear?
The single fruit weight of Huolong fruit tree is 500g-1000g. It produces more than 20 fruits per column in the second year after planting, enters the full fruit period in the third year, and has a higher level of management, the per unit yield can reach 2500kg/667m2.
Planting method:
Temperature
Temperature is almost the decisive factor of dragon fruit, and its origin is tropical, which makes it a typical tropical and subtropical fruit, which is not afraid of high temperature but low temperature. The planting area requires an average annual temperature of not less than 18 ℃, an average temperature of not less than 8 ℃ in January, an extremely low temperature of-3 ℃, and a duration of no more than 6 hours. The optimum growth temperature is 25-35 ℃. The growth will stop when the temperature is lower than 10 ℃ and higher than 38 ℃, and the plant will be resistant to stress with the characteristic short dormancy.
Soil
Dragon fruit is a kind of plant with strong vitality, which has a wide range of adaptability to soil, and can grow well in mountain, dry land, semi-dry land, stony mountain, wasteland and waterlogged lowland, especially the dragon fruit grafted with local ruler, its adaptability is more extensive. Although dragon fruit has a wide adaptability, it still has the most suitable Ph soil environment. Generally speaking, dragon fruit grows best in neutral or slightly alkaline soil, that is, the ph value is between 7.0 and 7.8. Therefore, for the soil planted in the soil where chemical fertilizer has been applied many times, it is suggested that the soil should be slightly alkalized with plant ash, lime, clam shell powder and so on.
Moisture content
Pitaya is a drought-tolerant plant, but it needs plenty of water to grow. if the pitaya is short of moisture for a long time, it will cause the growth of pitaya to stagnate, and even the original stout fleshy stem will slowly wither. It is during the flowering and fruiting period from May to November every year, when the dragon fruit plant needs more water, especially during the fruit expansion period, and it is better to keep the water holding capacity in the soil at 50-80%. Similarly, if there is too much water in the soil, especially the lack of oxygen, the roots will rot easily and the plants will die if they are flooded for more than half a day.
Light
The dragon fruit is a typical positive plant, which likes warm direct sunlight. If the sunlight is long and sufficient in a period of time, the photosynthesis is especially exuberant, the flesh stem is stout and green, the flowers are many and fruits are large and productive, otherwise the amount of fruit is obviously reduced. Therefore, it should be planted in open wasteland, especially on sunny slopes. The optimum light intensity above 8000 and less than 2500 had a significant effect on nutrition accumulation. For the more mature branches, concentrated high-intensity direct sunlight, if the time is too long, the accumulated heat can not be lost, it will cause sunburn in some dragon fruit branches.
Fertilizer
In the early stage of planting, dragon fruit uses less fertilizer than many traditional fruits, but this does not mean that dragon fruit does not need a variety of nutrients. On the contrary, due to the fast growth rate and high yield per mu, the fertilizer needed in the whole growth cycle must be adequate. Sufficient nitrogen fertilizer should be supplied in the early stage of growth to help the plant grow rapidly, tall and strong, with more branches, and in the middle and later stage of plant growth, more balanced application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied to increase the photosynthesis of the plant. promote early flowering and increase the content of protein and vitamins in fruit.
