ginseng fruit is planted in spring or autumn. Generally, in early February, new buds will grow at the base of the tender branches of ginseng fruit, and then cutting will be carried out. After cutting, it will be cultivated, and it will bloom in about 4 days, that is, in mid-March, and harvesting will begin about 5 days after flowering. Ginseng fruit can also be planted at the junction of autumn and winter. Usually in mid-August, the branches of fruit trees will be cut off in mid-August and will bloom around September 1. There are two kinds of common ginseng fruits in China. One is a fruit produced in the Andes of South America, called eggplant, but it is called ginseng fruit in China. It blooms from April to June every year. China Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also has a plant called Ginseng Fruit, which is a perennial herb wild plant. Locals call it longevity fruit, Penglai Fruit, etc. The result is around the Spring Festival in winter.

ginseng fruit harvest season

ginseng fruit is usually harvested in winter or autumn. If ginseng fruit can produce about 2 kilograms of annual seedlings per mu, it will take two years, not longer. Three-year-old seedlings usually bloom in the second year. It is best to plant two or more ginseng fruits

Planting steps and methods

1. Soil preparation, fertilization and planting: select neutral soil and loose and fertile soil which is convenient for irrigation, ventilation and light transmission. After planting ginseng fruit, fertilizing, applying 4-5 kilograms of farmyard manure and 5-7 kilograms of NPK compound fertilizer per mu, spacing between plants is 4-7 cm, deeply ploughing for 2-3 cm, and leveling the land to form a strip ridge with a width of 7 cm and a height of 1 cm. Choose a height of more than 1 cm, the branches can grow strong, and plant them in the shape of 5 cm and 5 cm. It is generally recommended to plant it tonight, with 2-3 plants per mu. After planting, pour in rooting water. 2. Fertilizer and water management: In addition to fertilization, apply 3 kilograms of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer per mu, and water the seedlings except for the main roots of 1 cm. Boron fertilizer or trace elements such as Su Baofeng No.2 should be properly applied during flowering and fruiting. A small amount of NPK compound fertilizer should be applied frequently, and attention should be paid to intertillage weeding. Generally, apply fertilizer once every 1 days, and apply more potassium fertilizer after flowering. The period when ginseng fruit needs water most is March-June and September-November, so it should be watered in time. 3. Pruning: Ginseng fruit has strong germination ability, and branches should be pruned immediately. From the part above 15-2cm, choose 3-5 stout and evenly distributed branches as the main branches, and cut off the rest. Leave 2~3 inflorescences in each lateral branch, 2~3 fruits in each inflorescence, and remove all other inflorescences and small fruits. Only 3 fruits can be produced per plant at most. Because the stems of ginseng fruit are very soft, they must be supported with bamboo sticks and plastic ropes at the beginning of fruiting to avoid falling down.
