1. Reasons why Forsythia japonica flowers but does not bear fruit

2. Where does forsythia grow and bear more fruits?

There are two reasons why Forsythia forsythia flowers but does not bear fruit. The first is self-pollination. The fruit setting rate of self-pollination will be very low, basically maintained at about 4%. It is recommended to cross-pollinate. When planting, plants with long styles and short styles should be planted alternately. The second is that the pruning is not timely, and the long branches disperse the nutrients. Pruning should be carried out in time, especially in spring, to concentrate nutrients and promote more flowering and fruiting.

1. Reasons why Forsythia does not bloom and bear fruit

1. The fruiting rate of self-pollination is low: The flowering and fruiting of Forsythia is likely to be caused by self-pollination, and the fruiting rate of self-pollination will decrease. It's very low, basically around 4%. If you want it to bear more fruit, cross-pollination is the only way. It is generally difficult to achieve home cultivation. For cultivation in the open field, plants with long styles and short styles can be planted alternately, so as to promote more results.

2. The long branches disperse nutrients: Forsythia officinalis The growth of the branches is very strong, and many leggy branches will sprout every year, which not only has no ornamental effect, but also causes the nutrients of the branches to be dispersed, thus reducing the fruiting rate. Pruning should be carried out in time to cut off the long branches to save nutrients, promote the concentration of nutrients and help it bear fruit.

2. Where does Forsythia grow and produce more results?

Generally, forsythia will bloom more and bear more fruits when it grows in places with sufficient sunshine and moisture. It does not have high requirements on the soil. It can grow normally in neutral soil, slightly acidic soil and alkaline soil. However, if you want it to grow more vigorously and produce more results, it is best to choose a plot with sufficient fertility. In addition, fertilization should be applied regularly during the growth period, especially before flowering. If the nutrients are sufficient, more flowers will bloom, and the fruit setting rate can also be increased.
