The fruit setting time of Camellia oleifera is related to varieties. Good seedlings of Camellia oleifera began to bear fruit after 5 years of planting, and entered the full fruit stage in about 7 years. The first fruiting of Camellia oleifera seedlings may take 7- 10 years. Camellia oleifera planted with seeds takes about 15 years to bear fruit. Camellia oleifera has a long life, usually 70 to 80 years, and the longest life can reach 100 years. The full fruit period generally lasts for 20-30 years.

Planting method of Camellia oleifera:

1, planting:

When planting, the seedlings should be righted, the depth of root system inserted into the soil layer should be moderate, and then the soil should be compacted. Cover Camellia oleifera plants with straw to prevent weeds in spring and sun exposure in summer.

Bury some dead branches of leguminous plants around Camellia oleifera seedlings as topdressing.

3, pruning:

Pruning Camellia oleifera can promote flowering and fruiting, ensure the healthy growth of Camellia oleifera and prolong the fruiting period. The pruning intensity should not be too large, and the main pruning objects are dead branches, pests and diseases, over-flourishing branches and over-dense branches. , leaving strong branches.

The best pruning time is before spring shoots germinate, from June 5438+February to March of the following year. Pruning should be close to the trunk and the incision should be as smooth as possible. Pruned branches should be burned centrally, which can reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.
