Most of the home gardeners have low patience while growing any fruit tree in their yard. As most fruit trees in India may take an extended time to bear fruits, some fruit trees grow fast and also start producing fruits after some years or months of planting. For a quicker yield, you can also opt for a transplanted plant from the nursery. Here are some Fast Growing Fruit Trees in India.
1. Papaya plant
Growing up to 20-25 feet tall, papaya starts bearing fruits early. The tree leaves are deeply lobed, and the fleshy orange fruit has a sweet, musky taste. The fruit should be harvested when half yellow or not fully yellow. Otherwise, it may be split open by birds and flies.
2. Ber plant
This vigorous growing tree grows in a crown shape with droopy branches. The tree bears oblong to round drupe fruits that are juicy and tarty-sweet. All fruits may ripen at different times; initially, they are green, but on ripening, they attain reddish color.
3. Banana plant
Growing in the humid, tropical areas, the banana grows in hanging clusters known as hands. The curved fruit has a yellow, green, or brown peel that varies according to ripening and the variety. The starchy flesh is sweet and is loaded with fiber and vitamins. To know if the fruit is ripe, check the bananas of upper hands and if the color has started turning yellow-green and plumpy.
4. Guava plant
The guava tree grown from seeds shows a slow growth rate and may take 2-6 years to produce fruits, whereas plants grown through grafting or cutting churn out a faster yield of fruits. The fruit has a sweet, mild taste and fresh aroma. They have a green peel, followed by pink to white flesh with some encapsulated seeds. It is consumed raw, but many Indian households cook its chutney.
5. Custard Apple(Sitafal) Plant
Growing up to 10-22 feet tall, custard apple produces fruits with creamy-texture, aromatic, and sweet pulp, bound with inedible black seeds. The fruit is low in cholesterol and comes loaded with vitamin C, Manganese, Iron, and Potassium. The pulp is either consumed raw or use in preparing shakes and icecreams.
6. Fig Plant
The fruits are blessed with a juicy coating that carries crispy seeds inside. People prefer to consume it in dried form, instead of a fresh one. Rich in iron and antioxidants, this fruit cures iron-deficiency, reduces sugar curbing and blood pressure. This tree releases white latex from the stem and leaves if broken.
7. Mulberry Plant
Confused about how did this tree comes into this list? Although mulberries bear fruits after a long time when it is well established, it is one of the fastest-growing trees, like it can grow 10-12 feet within 3 years. But if you are starting with the grafted one, it will start producing fruits sooner. The sweet fruit on the tree look like blackberries, and the color varies from red to dark purple.
