Posted under Fruit Trees, GARDENING on May 20, 2008
One of the most frustrating things that can possibly happen to someone who has slaved for hours and hours in growing a fruit tree is the unexplainable barrenness that can sometimes occur when there should be a plethora of fresh fruit.
You will know about barren trees from experience. Your neighbors all consider you as the gardening guru if you have extensive knowledge.
But this is only because gardening has been your passion for years and years, and like a sponge you have accumulated so much information in your mind.
Your learning has also come from past experiences with failure. For about 5 years after you started planting fruit trees, you did not see a single fruit for all your labor.
Determine the barren trees in the following way:
If you are in the gardening store then you will be looking for some sort of new fertilizer to put your hope in for your quest to obtain fruit. Generally, the inability to produce can be caused by a number of factors.
Sometimes the tree is simply too young; If your tree is less than four years old, you shouldn’t exactly expect it to be producing yet. If it has reached 4 years and you still have seen no sign of fruit, then you should start to consider other factors that might be causing the barren trees.
If fruit trees is undergoing any type of water stress (this can be poor drainage, too much water, or too little water), then it will have trouble growing and hence become as barren trees. If you suspect this is the case, you should evaluate your own watering techniques and compare them with the needs of the tree to see if you are causing water stress. Also always be on the lookout for any diseases or pest damages. If your trees are constantly becomes barren trees by all kinds of little creatures, then you can’t expect it to be lively enough to produce fruit.
Solve your problems of barren trees:
If your tree blooms but still doesn’t produce any fruit, this could be because of cold temperatures during the bloom. The coldness damaged the flower bud or damaged the baby fruit.
Aesthetically the barren trees may look fine, but the inside could be damaged beyond any hope of ever seeing fruit. Unfortunately there isn’t much you can do in this case except for wait until next year and hope that it doesn’t happen again.
If the tree’s pollination process has not been fully completed, trees could have troubles in growing fruit. If you planted different varieties, you may find that the requirements are different than you had originally thought and they were incompatible. In this case you need to replant the correct combinations.
Once you evaluated the conditions of your tree and everything that has occurred in its life, you realized that not only had cross pollinated slightly incorrectly, butbarren trees also consume too much water. After you have fixed these problems you can learn, what the trouble of bearing fruit by barren trees is.
So if you are struggling with a plant that is not being cooperative, you should consult an expert gardener. If you can find a gardening mentor like mine that is willing to teach you everything they know, then you should be able to get your garden on the right track with no problems of barren trees.
