After 3-4 years of grafting, a small amount of fruit will be produced. By the fifth year, the yield per mu will reach 200-300 Jin, which is suitable for planting in deep, loose and humus-rich soil. The sowing date of Carya cathayensis in the north is April, and it can be advanced in the south. Pruning should be done well in the early stage, and more main branches can be reserved to make them bear fruit early.

Brief introduction of betel nut planting

Carya cathayensis likes warm, humid and sunny environment, has strong adaptability to soil pH, and can grow well in slightly acidic and slightly alkaline soil, so it is suitable for planting in deep, loose and humus-rich soil. The sowing date of Carya cathayensis in the north is April, and it can be advanced in the south. The variety grown in the north is called Boni or Wichita.

Hickory fruit planted for several years.

Seed propagation is seedling raising. This kind of seedling has a long growth and development cycle and bears fruit very late. Moreover, the genetic variation of seedlings is large, and it is difficult to obtain seedlings with similar quality. Grafting is carried out on the basis of seedlings, and the mother tree with excellent characteristics is selected to collect scions. After careful management, the seedlings can be grafted in one year, grow well and bear fruit in three years.

The grafted Carya cathayensis blossoms and bears fruit.

After 3 ~ 4 years of grafting, a small amount of fruit will be produced. In the fifth year, it will enter the high-yield period, and the yield per mu can reach between 200 kg and 300 kg.

Potted Bigfoot Fruit Hanging Fruit

The original rootstock must be selected for potted Carya cathayensis fruit, and the growth rate is smaller than that of domestic varieties. If it is well managed for more than 5 years, the high yield needs more than 10 years, and the yield per mu is only a few hundred kilograms, which is much worse than domestic varieties.

Why don't pecans bear fruit?

Poor management, serious pests and diseases, and lack of soil nutrition are the reasons why Carya cathayensis does not bear fruit, which need to be controlled according to the actual situation.

Key points of betel nut planting

Pruning should be done well in the early stage, and more main branches should be reserved to make them bear fruit early and increase the permeability of plants. Try to keep some branches on the crown as early as possible, trim the lower part of the crown, flatten the incision and apply protective agent. After entering the aging period, the upper part of the crown where the regenerated branches occur can be cut off, and the branches of diseases and pests should also be trimmed.
