Does loquat sparse flower Hui delay flowering?

The reason why loquat trees thin flower buds.

Loquat trees generally have a large number of flowers on one flower spike, and if the buds are thinned after the panicle, it can help prevent fruiting in the next year and help the fruit to become hypertrophied. There are 50 200 flowers on a flower spike of loquat, if the buds are not thinned after the ear, and then the fruit is thinned later, it will consume a lot of nutrients in vain, so reducing the number of flowers on the flower spike in the early stage is also conducive to fruit hypertrophy and preventing fruit from falling in the next year.

At the same time, it also has the effect of preventing frost damage to loquat buds. Loquat flowers, if a flower spike grows a lot, these flowers will not all open, some small buds do not grow big, fall off halfway, that is, there is the so-called degradation phenomenon, if you reduce the early flowering flowers, the late flowers will not degenerate, and continue to develop until flowering. Therefore, the method of bud thinning can increase the number of late-blooming flowers on the same flower spike, so as to avoid frost damage.

Why do loquat trees thin flower buds, and how do loquat tree thin flower buds?

Second, the method of thinning the flower buds of loquat trees.

The flowers of loquat, in a flower spike, the flowers that bloom early or late are roughly determined, and when thinning the buds, the flowers that bloom early should be selected in the area without frost damage; In areas with frost damage, late-blooming flowers should be selected.

The method of thinning flower buds, that is, the number of flower buds and the position of flower buds are different, should be determined according to the flowering period, maturity period, and the relationship with frost damage, according to the results of the flower bud thinning test, when the upper part of the flower spike is thinned 1 3 (1 3 of the length of the main axis of the flower spike), because the upper branch spike axis is shorter, the number of flower buds removed is less than 1 3 of the total number of flowers, so the degree is not much different from the unthinning, and has almost no effect on frost damage and fruit setting rate, the coloring is still good, but the effect of promoting fruit hypertrophy is not significant, Thinning buds is inefficient.

The degree of flower bud thinning is aggravated, the upper half of the main shaft is completely thinned, then the number of flowers can be reduced considerably, and the early flowering flowers are reduced, and the late flowering flowers are significantly increased, so the frost damage can be avoided, the fruit setting rate is improved, and the number of flowers is greatly reduced, the flowering period is relatively delayed, and the fruit is conducive to hypertrophy and good coloring, which is the most practical bud thinning method in areas prone to frost damage.

As a method of thinning the flower buds of loquats, there are also those who do not move the upper part of the flower spike, but only remove the bottom two branches. Because the lower pivot is larger, only two can reduce the number of flowers, so that the fruit hypertrophy is better, and the coloring is good, but the flowering period is almost unchanged compared with the non-budding bud, and the fruit setting rate is not much different, and there is no effect on preventing frost damage.

From the above, it can be seen that no matter what kind of flower bud thinning method is used, it can promote fruit hypertrophy and good coloring compared to no flower bud thinning.

Sparse flower spikes: The branches of loquat flower spikes are fruiting branches, and the branches that bear fruit are the fruiting mother branches. There are two types of fruiting mother branches: spring shoots and summer shoots, and both spring shoots and summer shoots have apical bud branches and side bud branches.

The flower buds of the spring shoot top bud branch are the earliest, and the upper leaves are large, the leaves are many, the flower spikes are large, the number of flowers is more, and the fruit is also larger. For young trees, the main branches, secondary branches and flower spikes at the tip of the main trunk should be thinned to facilitate the expansion of the canopy. The time to thin the flower spike is when the flower spike can be distinguished by the naked eye, the earlier the better, generally in October to November.

Thinning flower buds: Even if loquat thins out a part of the flower spike, but there are still many flowers on each spike, appropriately thin some flower buds to reduce nutrient consumption, so as to facilitate the full development of the remaining flowers, so that they can bloom and bear fruit normally. The budding thinning period is the best time to take mid-October when the flower spike pivot has just been separated.

At this time, bud thinning is beneficial to delay the flowering period and avoid frost damage, and the bud thinning method is generally to remove the middle and upper part of the entire flower spike and leave 2 4 branch axes at the base.

Judging from the amount of loquat flowers, the amount of flowers we need to thin is very large. Some people may dispose of loquat flowers as waste in the orchard or burn them directly after they have been thinned. Recently, I found that there are people on the street who are selling loquat flowers as medicinal materials, and ** is not cheap.

Therefore, when we thin the loquat flowers, in fact, the loquat flowers are much more useful than the loquat fruits.

Loquat flowers are rich in a variety of bioactive components, and its rich ursolic acid and oleanolic acid have the effects of hypoglycemic, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, cough suppressant, phlegm, and asthma. They are the main pharmacodynamic substances of loquat flowers to moisten the lungs, relieve cough and reduce phlegm. The flavonoids contained in it have liver protection, blood circulation and blood stasis, lipid reduction, anti-tumor, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-aging and anti-fatigue, and enhance immune regulation.

In addition, it also contains amygdalin, carotenoids, volatile oils and other substances, all of which have the effects of cough and phlegm, anti-aging, eye protection, and strong immunity.

So, since the sparse loquat flower has so much medicinal value, what can it be used for?

First, it can be used to make loquat flower tea. The floral fragrance of loquat flowers is rich and long-lasting, and it is processed into a flower tea that can be brewed and drunk after a certain process. The biggest commodity characteristic of loquat flower tea is its moisturizing effect, which is not available in other flower teas.

Using loquat flowers as raw materials to process loquat flower tea or loquat flower beverage mainly includes direct tea, spelling flower tea and other methods. The loquat flower tea can play a role in refreshing and dispelling fatigue, nourishing the skin and protecting the liver.

After the loquat blooms, the method of thinning the flowers is:

Generally, the top bud of the loquat flower spike is small, which is an important part of the sparse flower. From the top of the spike to the base of the spike 5-15 cm should be removed. Secondly, depending on the thickness of the peduncle of each part of the flower spike to determine the amount of thinning, where the flower peduncle is weak flower buds.

All should be removed. How many flowers to keep in a flower spike depends on the age of the tree, the second depends on the strength of the tree, and the third depends on the amount of flowers. Young hanging fruit trees, because the tree is strong and vigorous, the amount of flowers is not much, and each flower spike can be harvested according to the kilogram of fruit to keep flowers.

Loquat generally bears fruit in May and can be eaten after about a month. Generally, if you want the fruit to bear fruit, you need to pollinate to let the flower develop, and the very common pollination mode is bee pollination, but now there is also artificial pollination, which is to make the fruit feel more and increase the yield.

Loquat is in early winter when it blooms in mid-May, and the loquat is full of trees, and the fruits are abundant, one by one, especially beautiful, golden.

Eating more loquat is still beneficial, and the effect of loquat is that it can relieve cough, clear heat, and strengthen the stomach.

There are loquat trees planted in front of and behind the house in the old house.

Every year when the loquat season comes, I will pick some to eat with my classmates when I go to school, and now I go back to my hometown after work, and there is a bowl of my own loquat on the dinner table. It's not as big as the one sold outside, but it tastes sweeter.

This loquat in my house was picked a little bit at my friend's house before, and after coming back and eating it, and then I threw the shell into the pot, and it grew out on its own, and a small seedling grew, and when it grew up, I moved it outside to plant it, and there it is, and now it is such a tall and big loquat tree.

When summer comes, not only can you enjoy the shade under the loquat tree, but you can also pick loquat directly to eat, which is a very enjoyable thing. Moreover, the flowering of the loquat tree is very fragrant, and after the wind blows, the fragrance of the loquat tree will spread to the surrounding area. And the loquat is not sour, it is also very sweet, and it is suitable for everyone to eat.
