The plant name of osmanthus is Mu 樨 (mù xī), commonly known as osmanthus, osmanthus is one of the traditional Chinese famous flowers, because of its fragrant aroma is loved by people, so how many years does it take for osmanthus seedlings to bloom?
Generally speaking, osmanthus seedlings need to grow for several years before they can bloom. The exact time depends on the variety of the sapling and the environment in which it grows. From the seed sowing, to the flowering of osmanthus seedlings, how long does this process take, there is no exact literature, most of the Internet says 10 years, and there are 4 to 5 years and 8 to 10 years, etc., it is difficult for us to determine an accurate number from it, whether there is a record or not, there is no way to verify.
Osmanthus can be divided into August laurel and four seasons laurel according to the flowering period, the flowering period of August laurel is from September to early October, and the four seasons laurel can bloom every month, so it is also called laurel, and his aroma is not as strong as August laurel. If it is in the flowering period, the osmanthus tree does not bloom, then it is caused by the environment, the environment has a great impact on the flowering of the osmanthus tree, if the weather is dry and hot, or the soil is dry and barren, or the sunshine is insufficient, it may lead to the osmanthus does not bloom, or less flowering.
Now the propagation method of osmanthus seedlings is basically propagated by cuttings, and the osmanthus seedlings propagated by cuttings can bloom when they survive. For example, the August laurel seedlings of cuttings can bloom when they reach the flowering period, and it is needless to say that they will have to wait a few years to bloom, if they are cuttings in September and October, then they will not bloom until September and October of the next year. If the cuttings are laurel, then the laurel seedlings can bloom every month.
In the greening use, osmanthus seedlings are planted in patches, because the osmanthus seedlings themselves are not very large, so the amount of flowering is not too much, and some do not even bloom, so on the whole, it is like not flowering.
If it is a variety cultivated and ornamental, osmanthus seedlings may be fruitful, grafted, and cutting, so it is difficult to define the flowering time one by one. You can first consult the seller to buy such osmanthus seedlings. Under normal circumstances, the purchased osmanthus seedlings can bloom in the same year, but of course, they may not bloom due to their own maintenance reasons.
In order to promote the early flowering of osmanthus seedlings, it is necessary to provide a suitable growth environment for the seedlings. Osmanthus trees prefer warm, moist climates and need plenty of sunlight and well-drained soil. When planting osmanthus trees, you should choose a suitable soil and planting site, and pay attention to maintaining soil moisture and drainage. You can also choose the way of grafting, so that the osmanthus seedlings bloom earlier.
