How to propagate and grow jujube trees
Let's talk about the experience of propagating and growing jujube trees and the cultivation and management of winter jujube trees. Let's learn about it together below.
Winter jujubes are a popular fruit and one of the better cultivated varieties among jujubes, with sweet and crisp fruit, rich in nutrients, and excellent beauty and skincare benefits. They are drought-resistant, flood-resistant, cold-resistant, and heat-tolerant, making them very easy to grow. So, what planting techniques are needed for high-yield winter jujubes? Let's take a look together!
1. Site selection
Choose plots with fertile soil, convenient irrigation, and adequate sunlight conditions, as well as accessible transportation for planting.
2. Planting
Planting winter jujubes requires selecting high-quality, strong seedlings and advance planning for scientific and reasonable planting. In the cultivation process of winter jujubes, dig a 1-meter deep pit and apply a reasonable concentration of farm manure, then fill in 10 cm of soil as an isolation layer. After planting the seedlings, water them thoroughly.
3. Fertilization and water management
Generally, after the winter jujubes are harvested each year, a base fertilizer must be applied. In the first two years after planting, a ternary compound fertilizer should be added, usually applied by broadcasting. It is best to combine fertilization with irrigation to increase fertilizer utilization. Also, timely tillage and weeding should be done to effectively improve the economic benefits of winter jujube planting.
4. Shaping and pruning
In the management of winter jujubes, shaping and pruning are crucial, aimed at ensuring ventilation and sunlight for the tree and facilitating photosynthesis. During the slow seedling period of winter jujubes, retain all the branches and leaves that sprout. The core of shaping and pruning lies in bud removal, topping, and branch support and twisting.
Among them, bud removal is the process of removing excess jujube heads as early as possible, correcting the position of the branches. In addition, to regulate the nutritional growth of winter jujubes, promote tree growth and development, and achieve the goal of increasing fruit setting rate.
5. Pest and disease control
The pests and diseases that need to be controlled in winter jujubes usually occur from mid-July to mid-August, which is the peak season for jujube rust. A Bordeaux mixture of 1:2:200 can be sprayed for prevention. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the comprehensive management of winter jujube trees to improve their resistance to diseases and reduce the incidence of pests and diseases.
The above content introduces how to propagate and grow jujube trees and the cultivation and management of winter jujube trees for green plant enthusiasts to refer to, hoping to solve your problems in green plant and flower management.
