What are the propagation methods of Jiabao fruit, how to manage it when it is planted at home, and what are the reasons for not bearing fruit? Let me share it with you.
Propagation method of Jiabao fruit The tree species characteristics of Jiabao fruit belong to tree species that are not easy to take root. The high-pressure propagation and cutting propagation that other fruit trees can adopt are applied to Jiabao fruit, and the survival rate is not high. Therefore, most Jiabao fruits are propagated by the most primitive method, seed sowing.
The sown Jiabao fruit seedlings will inherit the original quality even if they are not grafted because of the characteristics of their tree species (multi-embryo seeds). Please pay attention to one thing when breeding with seeds: in order to make seeds germinate faster, seeds need to be fresh, which will reduce the germination ability of seeds if they are kept for too long.
After sowing, the seeds of Jiabao fruit will germinate in about one month. When the seedlings grow 4-5 true leaves, they can be moved to the pot for seedling.
The growth of Jiabao fruit seedlings is very slow, with the seedling age of 1~2 years, which is not suitable for direct planting in the open field, but suitable for cultivating in containers to survive the seedling stage in the early stage. Choose a seedling pot with a height of 22cm× a diameter of 23cm and good drainage. According to the characteristics that Jiabao fruit is suitable for slight acidity, the soil in the pot can be vegetable garden soil, and then add 1 serving of peat, coarse sand and compost for full mixing before transplanting.
Maintenance, management and fertilization of Jiabao fruit: After 2 months of planting, apply fertilizer to Jiabao fruit once a month at intervals, which can promote its faster growth. The fertilizer used should be mainly organic fertilizer with long fertilizer efficiency, accounting for more than 90%, plus appropriate ternary fertilizer and calcium superphosphate with high nitrogen ratio. Using ternary fertilizer with a large proportion of nitrogen during seedling period can promote the formation of crown and the expansion of root system.
Suggestions on the amount and mode of use: at a certain distance from the trunk of the seedling, dig 6-8 small holes with a depth of 10cm and then put in the fertilizer, which can avoid the adverse effect of fertilizer damage caused by the fertilizer being too close to the root system of the seedling, and also help the root system of Jiabao fruit to spread to the soil below.
Pruning: Jiabao fruit is a slow-growing tree species, which grows slowly. Unlike other fruit trees, it will have main fruiting branches in the future. They blossom and bear fruit on all branches, even exposed to the roots of the soil, which can be seen. Jiabao fruit belongs to a tree species that does not need to be pruned deliberately. However, considering the balance of growth, if the branches and leaves are too vigorous, it will not only cause poor canopy permeability, but also absorb too much limited nutrients in the soil, which is not conducive to the normal growth of Jiaguobao, seriously delaying the flowering time, and consuming too much nutrients after flowering, resulting in a small number of fruit sets.
Therefore, in the management of tree pruning, the branches and leaves sprouting from the lower part of the trunk should be cut off in time; And cut off some of the branches and leaves that are too dense in the bore and the top; The branches of each group are not covered with each other, and the whole tree shape is shaped into a goblet, so that it has good ventilation and light transmittance, and can supply limited nutrients for the growth of the branches.
In the process of pruning, if the cut branches are not thick, protective measures need not be taken. However, if there is a big cut, after pruning, carbendazim should be sprayed on the wound for disinfection and then bandaged. In this way, it can prevent the wound from being invaded by germs during the long healing period because of the oversized wound.
Protection against high temperature and frost: the seedlings are not resistant to high temperature, so it is recommended not to place them in the sun to avoid the exposure of the seedlings in the scorching sun. The best place to raise seedlings should have a shading rate of 50%, and other items should be managed.
Jiabao fruit grows fastest under the condition of frost-free period, and also has certain cold tolerance. Most varieties are at MINUS 2 degrees and will not be damaged by freezing. However, the frost resistance in the seedling stage is also weak. In the cold season, we should cover with plastic sheets and build a shed to prevent frost. If we move indoors, we need a good ventilation environment.
Pests and diseases: Although Garbo fruit has the disadvantage of slow growth, it is precisely because of its slow growth that it has strong resistance to pests and diseases. Compared with other fruit trees, the occurrence of pests and diseases in Jiabao fruit needs to be done much less. Usually, it is only necessary to do all kinds of management well, so that the trees can have good permeability, and the diseases can be prevented in time. In the management of watering, water supply should be balanced. If the soil is too wet and has poor drainage, the roots are prone to rot and the upper part of the tree is corroded, resulting in dead trees. Too dry soil leads to death. During the fruiting period, fruits are easily damaged by birds.
Why does Jiaguobao not bear fruit? Jiaguobao is easy to grow and cultivate. The disadvantage is that it grows too slowly and waits for a long time to bear fruit. Not many fruits can be harvested at the age of 6 years, and the high-yield period is after 10 years, and then the annual output rises gradually, and the life span of fruit trees can be as long as 100 years.
In Baidu Q&A, many people asked me why I planted Garbo fruit without any results. The reasons are complicated, which will be influenced by different planting methods, management and climate. I will give you some examples of the most common ones for your reference.
0 1, one of the main reasons for the failure of Jiabao fruit is that the age of the tree has not reached the fruiting stage. The earliest fruiting of Jiabao fruit seedlings should be after 4 weeks, the normal fruiting will begin after the sixth anniversary, and the slowest will be after 10 years.
Generally speaking, most Jiabao fruits will blossom and bear fruit as long as the tree age reaches 10 years. If they have not yet borne fruit, it may be affected by other reasons.
About the age of trees, it should be noted that if the trees planted in pots are limited by soil, some of them have been planted for 10 years, but the 6-year-old trees that have not been exposed to the ground are thick in diameter, and because they are worried about excessive fertilization and fertilizer damage when potted, the amount of fertilization in one year is relatively small, and the growth of Jiabao fruit is limited, so it will take longer to enter the fruiting period. Potted Jiabao fruit, I personally suggest that new soil should be replaced every three years and the original pot should be changed to a larger size, which is conducive to the better growth of Jiabao fruit.
02. Some people plant Jiabao fruit in the corner of the yard, which is close to the fence. At the beginning, such an environment is suitable for the growth of Jiabao fruit, and Jiabao fruit will not be sunburned in its seedling stage. It's just that once the age of the Jiabao fruit increases, if the sunlight is blocked by the fence, it is not conducive to the growth of the Jiabao fruit.
Jiabao fruit belongs to subtropical plants, and they grow best in sunny environment. Therefore, when planting Jiabao fruit, it is necessary to ensure that Jiabao fruit has good lighting conditions.
03. Although the growth rate of Garbo fruit is relatively slow, it will send out many new branches and leaves every year, and the growth of branches and leaves needs a supply of nutrients.
The source of nutrients comes from the soil, and the nutrients in the soil are limited, and the nutrients that Garbo fruit can absorb are also limited. If the branches and leaves are too dense, it will also affect the flowering and fruiting of Garbo fruit. And too lush branches and leaves will make the ventilation and light transmittance of the tree poor, which is not conducive to flowering and fruiting. Generally speaking, the overgrown branches and leaves of Jiabao fruit should be pruned regularly every year, and the fruit of Jiabao fruit grows on the branches of trees.
Conclusion: At present, most of the propagation methods of Jiabao fruit are seed sowing, but there are many reasons for Jiabao fruit not to bear fruit, which are usually caused by planting environment or neglect of management. Jiabao fruit does not need cross pollination, and there is no distinction between male and female trees. As long as it is properly managed, a Jiabao fruit can blossom and bear fruit.
