A complete chart of flowering and fruiting times for various fruit trees, save it for later

Fruit trees are trees whose fruit is edible, such as apple trees, pear trees, citrus trees, apricot trees, peach trees, and so on, so when do various fruit trees flower and bear fruit? Here is a summary for you:

Apple tree: generally bears fruit 3 years after planting, flowering period at the end of March, fruiting period from April to October, ripening after autumn.

Pepino melon: flowers in one year, bears fruit in one year.

Peach tree: depending on the variety, the flowering period is from late March to May. For early fruit ripening, some ripen from late May to late September.

Blueberry tree: in northern regions, the phenological period is about 10 days later than that of Changchun on average. The budbreak period is in mid-May, the flowering period is in late May to early June, the fruit colors in late June to early July, and ripens from late July to early August. In addition, varieties in the lowbush blueberry variety group ripen earlier, while varieties in the half-highbush blueberry variety group ripen about 10 days later than lowbush blueberries.

Citron tree: bears small white flowers in April-May, the flowers are fragrant, the fruit is spherical, and turns golden yellow when ripe. It is cold-resistant, drought-resistant, and barren-resistant. Generally, citron officially bears fruit in 3~5 years.

Jujube tree: flowers in May~June, with axillary cymes, small flowers, yellow-green. After jujube saplings are planted, they generally bear fruit in the second year. As the saying goes, “peach three, plum four, pear five years, walnut and persimmon six or seven years, mulberry seven years can feed silkworms, jujube planted can make money.” This means the fruiting period of jujube trees is short.

Passion fruit: after planting, if it grows vigorously, it generally can bloom in 70~90 days, and the fruit needs about 60 days to develop and mature. Seedling-grown plants have a relatively long growth cycle, generally flowering in 180~200 days, and the fruit needs about 80 days to develop and mature.

Moringa: can flower and bear fruit within 1-2 years, mainly depending on climate and growing environment. As long as there is sufficient rain, moringa will flower and form pods. If the rain is continuous, moringa can almost produce continuously all year round, and in the dry season irrigation can promote flowering.

Blood orange tree: bears fruit in 3-5 years; the specific situation depends on the size of the fruit tree.

Chayote: according to relevant information, the flowering period of chayote is April-May each year, and the fruiting period is October-November.

Banana: as long as a certain number of leaves have emerged, an inflorescence can grow, so bananas can flower in all four seasons; only the quantity and quality of flowering differ throughout the year. The main reason is that the period from flower bud differentiation to bud emergence is affected by light, temperature, and plant nutrients.

Egg fruit tree: flowers that generally bloom in May—June mature 40—60 days after flowering; flowers that bloom in July—August need 60—80 days to mature; flowers that bloom in September need 80—90 days to mature; flowers that bloom in October or later need more than 90 days before the fruit can mature.

Grape tree: grafted wooden grape trees generally bear fruit in 3-5 years. Wooden grape trees generally grow more than 10 m.

Milk fruit tree: naturally growing ones will not flower and bear fruit until 6~9 years. Each year in April the young shoots begin to elongate and set fruit, fruit begins to ripen in July, and ripening ends in December; the fruit-viewing period lasts as long as 6~8 months.

Fengliu fruit tree: can flower and bear fruit after 3-6 years of planting, and bears fruit only once every 3 years; the adult tree is 10-20 m tall.

Mangosteen: flowers in September. Male flowers are borne in 2-9 clusters at the tips of branches, with short pedicels; female flowers are solitary or in pairs, borne at the tips of branches, slightly larger than male flowers; the ovary has 58 locules, almost no style, and the stigma is deeply cleft 5-6 times. Flowering period is September-October.

Lantern fruit tree: begins to bear fruit in the second year after planting. It flowers in mid-to-late May; the fruit begins to be harvested in the south at the end of May, and in the north from late June to July.

Macadamia tree: flowers and bears fruit after 4 to 5 years, enters the full fruiting period from the 10th to 12th year, and its economic life can reach more than 60 years.

Lemon tree: begins to bear fruit in the 3rd year after planting, and reaches commercial fruit quality after 5 years. Flowering period is April-May, fruiting period is September-November. Because lemons are easily bruised, gloves should be worn when picking. The fruit is generally harvested before it ripens, and after treatment it can be stored for 3 months.

Apricot tree: flowers and bears fruit in four years.

Lychee tree: the time when it begins to bear fruit varies with different propagation methods. Seed-propagated lychee trees, because they must go through a long juvenile period, generally take 10-15 years to begin bearing fruit. Grafted lychee trees generally can bear fruit when the canopy grows to more than 1 m in 3-4 years.

Longan tree: flowering period March~April, fruiting period July~August.

Starfruit tree: a grower named Xiang Ji revealed that whether a starfruit tree bears fruit depends on the climate. In a place like Hainan, if a grafted starfruit tree does not lack fertilizer, it can basically bear fruit in more than 4 years; in other places it takes longer, 6—8 years.

Kiwifruit tree: bears fruit early and has good high yield. Grafted seedlings can bear fruit in the second year after planting, enter the full fruiting period in the fourth year, and the yield per mu can reach 1500~2000 kg.

Mango tree: generally takes 5--10 years from seed planting to flowering and fruiting, depending on where you plant it, whether in Hainan or a greenhouse in the north. Mango trees naturally flower from December each year to January-February of the following year, sometimes as early as November or as late as March of the following year, with the full flowering period around the Spring Festival.

Coconut tree: dwarf coconuts bear fruit early and have high yields. Dwarf coconuts need only 3-4 years to flower and bear fruit, with an annual yield of about 80 per tree.

Mandarin tree: generally grafted seedlings begin to bear fruit 3-4 years after planting, reach the full fruiting period after 5 years, and have a long economic life of 40-50 years.

Avocado tree: in China, south of Guangdong it flowers in March and the fruit matures in August~September. It generally bears fruit 3~4 years after planting.

The above is a summary of the flowering and fruiting times of various fruit trees for everyone, hoping it can help you.
