What to Do When a Yew Blooms but Bears No Fruit? One Trick to Make the Tree Loaded with Red Berries

Why Does the Yew Only Bloom but Not Bear Fruit? The yew not only has rare medicinal value but is also highly ornamental. With a long history, it is known as a living fossil and is a rare plant worldwide. Nowadays, everyone has started growing yews, and many people run into one question: how long does a yew need to be grown before it blooms and bears fruit? Below, let's talk about the time and conditions for a yew to bloom and bear fruit.

Generally speaking, when the tree reaches 7-8 years of age, the Chinese yew (Taxus chinensis var. mairei) can bear fruit. The Chinese yew is dioecious, meaning a single plant has only one sex; if it is a male plant, it will definitely not bear fruit. Its flowering period is generally from April to May, and its fruiting period is from June to November. The fruit of the Chinese yew is bright red and especially festive, which is also why people favor growing it; red fits the general aesthetic of Chinese people.

If you want the yew to bloom and bear fruit, then the following three conditions are needed.

First, the yew must reach a tree age of 7-8 years. If the yew has been growing for too short a time, then it cannot reach the mature stage and cannot bloom and bear fruit. So when choosing a plant, you must identify its tree age.

Second, you need to choose a natural environment and other conditions suitable for the yew's growth. The natural environment has a very significant effect on a plant's growth and development, so the environment must be suitable; only then can the yew grow better.

Third, when planting yews, it is best to plant male and female plants together so that they can bloom and pollinate better, because the yew is cross-pollinated, so both male and female plants need to be present when planting. Only then can it be covered with bright red little berries.

Now that we know the time and conditions for the Chinese yew to bloom and bear fruit, let's talk about the points to note when planting yews.

1. Light: The yew likes a relatively cool and shady growing environment, so we need to provide it with proper shade; it cannot be placed directly under strong sunlight, otherwise the plant's water will evaporate quickly, causing the branches and leaves to lack water and the plant to dry up. When it is very hot in summer, you can place the yew in the living room or a corner of the balcony, and then move it to the windowsill in the evening for ventilation.

2. Watering: The leaves of a yew that is not short of water are very upright, glossy, and resilient. If the leaves appear withered, then proper watering is needed. If the leaves droop, that indicates severe water shortage. In addition, you can judge when to water by tapping the flower pot and listening to the sound; if the sound is hollow, it means the soil is already dry and it is time to water.

That's all for this round of points to note. You can choose how to grow yews according to your own needs and preferences, but you must remember the most basic points and not forget them!
