Banana trees like warm environment, not cold-resistant, strong meristematic ability, semi-shade tolerance, strong adaptability to the environment and rapid growth. It turns out that banana trees are distributed in tropical areas of East Asia, and the best planting time is in spring. The main cultivated varieties of banana trees are Beijiao, Taijiao No.2, Bao Dao Banana and Taijiao No.5. ..

After several years of planting, the banana tree bears fruit.

The time when banana trees begin to bear fruit varies according to different propagation methods. Seedling growth is slow, and it usually takes 10- 15 years to bear fruit. Grafted banana trees can bear fruit when the crown width is greater than 1 m within 3-4 years.

The grafted banana trees blossom and bear fruit.

Grafted seedlings of banana trees will bear fruit after 2-3 years of growth. If properly managed, the banana tree will set fruit earlier, and the banana tree is still in the growing period, so the fruit yield of the banana tree will not be too large. It will take about 1-2 years for the fruit yield of banana trees to reach a certain scale.

Potted plantain

Potted plantain seedlings will bear fruit for a long time. Some banana trees have been planted for more than 15 years, and some specially cultivated banana trees may never bear fruit after sowing with seeds eaten from fruits.

Why don't banana trees bear fruit?

Banana trees may not bear fruit, because they are planted too closely and have poor ventilation and light transmission. Pruning around branches year by year can promote the flowering and fruiting of plants. Insufficient plant nutrition supply leads to a large number of flowers and fruits falling, so fertilization should be reasonable, and then fruit-stabilizing fertilizer and strong fruit fertilizer should be applied.

Banana trees are affected by extreme weather such as heavy rain or dry and low temperature during flowering. Therefore, it is necessary to shake off the water on the flower spike in time in rainy days to prevent flower retting. In hot and dry weather, it is necessary to spray water and spray on the crown in time, and release bees in the orchard to improve the fruit setting rate.

Key points of banana tree planting

Banana trees are suitable for planting in loose, fertile and well-drained soil, and the best planting time is around March in spring. Adequate lighting conditions should be provided during the growth period, and the maintenance environment should not be too dark, otherwise it will affect the performance. In addition, quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer is applied when the top buds of branches germinate, and the young roots have weak ability to absorb fertilizer, so they can be sprayed on the leaves.
