The fruiting age of Taxus chinensis seedlings varies depending on the variety and seedlings. The following is a detailed analysis of the fruiting years of Taxus chinensis seedlings: 1. The fruiting years of different varieties of Taxus chinensis
1. Southern Chinese yew: The fruiting time of this type of yew is relatively late, usually requiring 7-8 years of tree age to bear fruit. Its flowering period is from April to May, and the fruiting period lasts from June to November.
2. Mandia yew: The fruiting period of Mandia yew is relatively short, and it can bloom and bear fruit after 4 to 5 years of planting. Its flowering and fruiting period is similar to that of the southern Chinese yew, blooming from April to May and fruiting from June to November. 2、 The fruiting years of different seedlings of Taxus chinensis
1. Seedlings: If the seedlings of Taxus chinensis are propagated through seeds, their growth rate is relatively slow and generally takes more than 7 years to bear fruit.
2. Cutting seedlings: Taxus chinensis seedlings propagated through cutting have a relatively fast growth rate, usually taking only about 3 years to bear fruit. 3、 The dioecious characteristics of Taxus chinensis
Taxus chinensis is a dioecious plant, which means that the male plant only blooms but does not bear fruit, while the female plant only bears fruit but does not bloom. If there is only one yew tree at home, it cannot bear fruit and can only be used as a potted plant for leaf observation. In order to obtain the fruit of the Chinese yew, it is necessary to have both female and male plants and carry out natural pollination during their flowering period. 4、 Suggestions for the maintenance of Taxus chinensis
1. Soil: Taxus prefers loose, fertile, and well drained soil, and can be mixed with humus, garden soil, and sandy soil.
2. Light: Taxus prefers semi shaded environments and avoids direct sunlight. During the high temperature period in summer, it is necessary to provide appropriate shade.
3. Watering: Taxus chinensis prefers a moist environment, but excessive watering should be avoided to prevent water accumulation and root rot. Usually, watering can be done every 2 to 3 days to keep the soil moist.
4. Fertilization: During the vigorous growth period of Taxus chinensis, thin liquid fertilizer can be applied every 15 to 20 days to promote its growth, flowering, and fruiting.
The fruiting age of Taxus chinensis seedlings varies depending on the variety and seedlings. During the maintenance process, attention should be paid to the management of soil, light, watering, and fertilization to ensure the healthy growth and smooth fruiting of the Chinese yew.
