Brazilian red fruit is a myrtaceae plant, also known as red fruit seed and red cherry. Most of them are distributed in tropical America, and they have been introduced in tropical areas of all continents. Not much is planted in China, mainly in Taiwan Province province. Because of its high environmental requirements, it is also called noble fruit in Brazil.

After Brazilian red fruit is planted, if it is properly managed, it will bear a small amount of fruit in 2-3 years. In China, only in southern Guangdong, Hainan and other places with warm climate will it blossom and bear fruit, and it may blossom and bear fruit in the greenhouse in the north.

Brazilian red fruits can be planted by sowing and rooting. When the fruit is ripe, it should be harvested in time, and the seeds should be taken out with the harvest. Seeds should be sown directly in a suitable substrate. Keep the soil moist after sowing and emerge after 30 days. Root cutting is carried out when changing pots in spring. The thick roots are directly cut and planted separately, and new roots can grow soon after planting, and the survival rate is extremely high.

Why doesn't Brazilian red fruit bear fruit?

Brazil red fruit does not bear fruit because the light is too weak and the environment is dark, which will affect flower bud differentiation. Excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer will lead to excessive growth of branches and leaves, which is difficult to bear fruit. No topping or artificial pollination at the early stage of growth will also lead to no fruit.

Key points of Brazilian red fruit planting

Brazilian red fruit is suitable for planting in loose, fertile, well-drained and humus-rich slightly acidic sandy soil. The growing season should be kept in a sunny and well-ventilated place. When the weather is hot in summer, we should shade the sun properly, water the soil in time, keep the soil moist, apply dilute liquid fertilizer every half month, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering.

Don't water the flowers in flowering period, and drain them well in rainy season to avoid falling flowers. Because the flowering period is in winter, there is no bee pollination at this time, artificial pollination can be carried out every morning to increase fruit yield.
