How to prevent the persimmon from falling fruit

Viewing fruit bonsai is a common form in bonsai world. since it is used as a viewing fruit bonsai, it naturally focuses on improving the ornamental quality of the fruit. If you encounter the phenomenon of fruit loss, it will inevitably lead to no fruit to enjoy, or the number of fruit is too small and reduce the appreciation of bonsai. The same is true for Laoya persimmon, which is mostly used to make ornamental bonsai.

Laoren persimmon bonsai is characterized by round fruit, bright fruit color, long fruit period, small and few leaves, but long germinating power and rich branch distribution. But after all, as an ornamental bonsai, in the final analysis, we have to improve the quality of the fruit to enhance the appreciation of bonsai. And the prevention of fruit loss is the top priority, so?

Laoya persimmon is a kind of deciduous small tree, and it is easy to have natural fallen leaves in autumn and winter. And if the phenomenon of abnormal fruit drop occurs, it will affect the beauty very much. Therefore, we should do a good job in maintenance and management as far as possible to avoid abnormal fruit loss, mainly from the following aspects:

1. Nutrient assurance

If we want Laoyao persimmon to bear fruit smoothly and let the fruit hang on the tree for a long time, we should apply some high phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to it from July every year. This topdressing process needs to last until October in autumn, so that plants can get enough nutrients to promote fruit growth and prevent fruit fall.

Second, control nitrogen fertilizer

The topdressing of plants in flowering and fruiting stage is mainly topdressing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. after all, these two nutrient elements not only play an important role in promoting flowering and fruiting, but also help to stabilize fruit. If we focus on applying nitrogen fertilizer at this time, then the plant will grow branches and leaves, resulting in flowers and fruits unable to get the corresponding nutrients to promote flowering and fruiting. Even if the fruit comes out, it will fall due to lack of phosphorus and potassium. Therefore, it is necessary to control nitrogen fertilizer or even stop nitrogen intake during flowering and fruiting stage.

3. Proper water control

Laoya persimmon in flowering and early hanging fruit, must be properly controlled water. Because the watering is too large and the water is too sufficient, it is easy to let a large number of flowers and fruits fall. Therefore, we should keep the pot soil slightly moist during the flowering and fruit period, and avoid watering frequently. And frequent watering is not only easy to cause flowers and fruits to fall off, but also may cause rotten roots, thus bringing greater damage to plants.

Fourth, thinning flowers and fruits

Laoyao persimmons in flower and fruit will consume a lot of nutrients, but at the same time can not be fertilized, so if there are too many flowers and fruits, we need to thinning flowers and fruits in time. Because there are too many flowers and fruits, it will form fierce nutrition competition, and for those flowers and fruits that compete for less nutrition, they often fall off because of poor growth. Therefore, proper thinning of flowers and fruits can reduce nutritional competition, thus reducing the phenomenon of abnormal fruit drop.

The above aspects are only the common causes of abnormal fruit drop in Laoya persimmon bonsai, and there are many specific reasons. Such as insufficient plant maturity, weak root system, insufficient nutrients, too much nitrogen fertilizer at flowering stage, unpollinated varieties to be pollinated, too much watering or continuous overcast and rain during flowering and fruiting stage, strong wind during flowering and fruiting stage, being attacked by diseases and insect pests, and so on, these are all inducements. Therefore, in order to avoid the phenomenon of abnormal fruit drop in Laoya persimmon bonsai, we usually have to focus on the management of these aspects.
