What causes chicken-heart wampee to bear few flowers and fruits? How do you solve poor flowering and fruiting in chicken-heart wampee? We also ask netizens with wampee growing experience to help explainBecause chicken-heart wampee fruit has yellow-white flesh, a sweet taste with honey fragrance or sweetness with a slight tartness, crisp and juicy flesh, and is easy to cultivate and manage, with strong adaptability to various climate factors and soil conditions, it is widely favored by farmers.
However, many wampee growers do not understand the growth patterns of wampee trees, and often let the trees grow too vigorously, that is, vegetative growth becomes too strong, which affects the reproductive growth of the wampee tree and makes it difficult to form flowers. This is what is commonly called "flowers but no fruit."
Therefore, Zhongdiwang suggests that wampee growers uniformly prune plants that have not set fruit in mid-August, and when there is no rain, water them thoroughly, striving to force out autumn shoots before mid-September. From mid-October to late November, spray 500 ppm paclobutrazol twice to promote flower bud differentiation. You can use 200 grams of 15% paclobutrazol powder mixed with 60 kg of water. This can ensure the development of wampee flower buds, increase the number of female flowers, and promote the fruiting rate of wampee trees.Click to view"The role of paclobutrazol"
