How many years does a calcium fruit tree generally take to bear fruit?

Calcium fruit is a fruit rich in “calcium” and a fruit variety unique to China. Every 100 grams of fresh fruit contains 79.09 mg of calcium, and it was once called the “star of calcium supplementation.” Besides “calcium,” the flesh also contains protein, amino acids, vitamins and many other substances, making it a high-grade health fruit for children, the elderly and pregnant women. So how many years does a calcium fruit tree take to bear fruit?

It can bear fruit in the second year after planting. Calcium fruit has strong growth ability; planted this year, it can set fruit next year, and it is also relatively simple to grow. In spring, from February to March, prepare the land, apply fertilizer and irrigate, then transplant the young calcium fruit seedlings and plant them, keeping a row spacing of 1 m × 1 m; about 650 plants can be planted per mu. Before the seedlings are planted, they need to be watered; watering should be frequent, and after planting, cultivating and weeding must also be kept up. During the flowering and fruiting periods, pay attention to watering and fertilizing, and if pests are found, spray promptly. During fruit set, if the small branches grow too vigorously, prune the small branches and weak branches, thin the flowers and fruits, and promote fruit enlargement.

The calcium fruit plant is 0.5—1.5 m tall, with no obvious main branch; basal branches send out 5—7 shoots per year; it bears white or pink flowers, with the flowering period in early May, and it can overwinter safely at a low temperature of —40°C. The root-to-shoot ratio is 9:1, while that of ordinary tree species is only 3:1. It is a shrub fruit tree with extremely strong drought resistance, can flower and bear fruit normally in areas with annual precipitation of 300 mm, and can adapt to the vast areas of China's Three-North region, Central China and the South where the cumulative time at winter temperatures of 0-10°C is more than 800 hours; it adapts to soil pH 7—8, and has deep roots and a long lifespan.
