Why doesn't the jujube tree bear fruit? Please explain the causes. The main reasons a jujube tree fails to bear fruit are the following three: Reason one why a jujube tree fails to bear fruit: excessive tree vigor. Solution: During the full flowering period of the jujube tree, perform ring barking (girdling) at the base of the main branches, cutting deep to the xylem, with a width of about 0.5 cm - roughly, however thick the bark is, that is how wide to cut....
Why doesn't the jujube tree bear fruit? Please explain the causes


The main reasons a jujube tree fails to bear fruit are the following three:

Reason one why a jujube tree fails to bear fruit: excessive tree vigor
        Solution: During the full flowering period of the jujube tree, perform ring barking (girdling) at the base of the main branches, cutting deep to the xylem, with a width of about 0.5 cm - roughly, however thick the bark is, that is how wide to cut.

Reason two why a jujube tree fails to bear fruit: no pollinizer tree planted. Fresh-eating jujube varieties such as Sihong jujube generally need a pollinizer variety planted, otherwise the fruit set rate is low.
        Solution: Graft a pollinizer variety onto branches higher up on the jujube tree.

Reason three why a jujube tree fails to bear fruit: dry weather during the jujube tree's flowering period. The stigma of the female flowers becomes less sticky and easily loses viability, affecting pollination and fertilization, and the fruit set rate declines.
       Solution: During the flowering period, spray the jujube tree with clean water at 8-10 am and around 5 pm to increase humidity.
