Loquat growth environment

Loquat likes light, is slightly shade-tolerant, has a warm climate, fertile and moist soil with good drainage, is slightly cold-tolerant, cold-tolerant, and grows slowly, with an average temperature of more than 12 ~ 15, not less than -5℃ in winter, and not less than 0℃ in flowering period and young fruit period.

Loquat is a subtropical tree, which requires high temperature, and can grow normally when the annual average temperature is above 65438 02℃. However, the average annual temperature of loquat cultivated and domesticated in northern Jiangsu loquat tree base is-10 ~ 30℃, so it can be planted in areas without particularly cold weather.

Loquat trees have low requirements for soil, but strict requirements for temperature. Usually, the flowers and young fruits of loquat trees will be frostbitten at MINUS 5 degrees, and if the temperature is higher than 30 degrees, it will have adverse growth effects.

Loquat blooms in late autumn and early winter, and the fruit matures in late spring and early summer of the following year. It grows well in South China and Northwest China. If it is planted in the northeast, it is necessary to buy loquat seedlings specially cultivated and domesticated in northern Jiangsu. This kind of fruit seedling has stronger cold resistance than ordinary seedlings.

Pollen begins to germinate above 10℃, and the most suitable temperature for pollen germination is about 20℃. However, when the air temperature or ground temperature is above 30℃, the growth of branches, leaves and roots is slow and poor. When the fruit meets the high temperature of 35℃ 7 ~ 15 days before picking, it is easy to cause sunburn injury and even lose its edible value.
