The shortest fruiting time of Illicium verum is 3-4 years, and the longest is 5-8 years. The first fruiting period of Illicium verum is 8- 18 years for afforestation and 6- 15 years for fast-growing forest, starting from 19 years, and the fast-growing forest starts from 16 years for plant aging.

At the initial stage, basic investment is also needed, including land, management, labor and so on. At the initial stage, the yield of Illicium verum is not high. Generally, the yield per mu of autumn fruit is around 1000 kg, and the profit per mu is 10,000 yuan according to the current market price. However, the purchase price of Illicium verum may be lower due to different planting conditions and market conditions in each region.

Illicium verum blooms and bears no fruit.

1, Woodland environment: keep the Illicium verum forest ventilated, transparent and clean, remove weeds and shrubs in the forest, and avoid competing with Illicium verum for fertilizer and glory.

2. Woodland hoeing and reclamation: Woodland is hoeed and reclaimed to increase soil permeability and promote the germination of new roots. Woodland with a slope less than 25 degrees can be completely cultivated, and woodland with a slope greater than 25 degrees should be cultivated with belt.

3. Reasonable close planting: it is advisable to maintain 30-45 plants per mu, and the crown spacing of adult plants is 1-2 meters. The principles of removing the inferior and retaining the superior, removing the weak and retaining the strong, and removing the dense and retaining the sparse are adopted for reasonable thinning.

4. Reasonable pruning: the trees that are too dense and have few fruits should be pruned properly, the sparse trees should be pruned less or not, the inner branches in the lower part of the crown should be pruned appropriately, the middle and upper parts of the crown and the outer branches should be pruned lightly, the branches with abnormal growth and development, the branches with diseases and insect pests and many dry branches should be pruned lightly, and the Illicium verum with strong tree potential should be circumcised.
