When is the best time to plant jujube trees
Let me tell you about when it's best to plant jujube trees and some small experiences in green plant maintenance for jujube tree cultivation techniques and management. Next, I will take everyone to learn about it together.
Mastering the best time and planting method for planting jujube trees can not only improve the survival rate of the trees but also make them grow robustly, thus achieving high-quality and abundant yields. Below, I will explain the best time and method for planting jujube trees.
I. Planting Time
Jujube trees usually germinate at the beginning of April. Considering that the trees need a 20-day growth period after planting to survive and germinate, the best time to plant jujube trees is at the beginning of March. Moreover, the temperature is not high at this time, and the water evaporation from the jujube trees is slower, thus improving the survival rate.
II. Planting Method
1. Dilute the rooting powder in a container at a ratio of 1:600, then place the jujube tree in the container to soak for 8 hours. Note that the diluent should cover the roots during soaking, and the soaking time should not exceed 10 hours.
2. The diameter of the planting pit should be 10 centimeters larger than the diameter of the jujube tree's root system, and the depth should be more than one-third of the length of the root system. A pit larger than the root system is beneficial for the root expansion during planting.
3. Mix 250 grams of organic fertilizer with 1000 grams of high-quality soil, and evenly sprinkle the mixed fertilizer at the bottom and around the pit. Make sure the fertilizer is evenly mixed.
4. When planting, do not let the soil cover the grafting part of the jujube tree to prevent soil-borne bacteria from infecting and causing the tree's death.
5. Cut off the main and lateral branches at the first fork of the jujube tree, and wrap the cut ends tightly with plastic film to prevent them from drying out due to wind.
6. Water the jujube tree twice on the first day after planting, each time watering thoroughly. After 10 days of consecutive watering, cover with plastic film.
The above introduction on when it's best to plant jujube trees and detailed explanation of jujube tree cultivation techniques and management, I hope this article can bring you help in green plant management!
