Reproduction and Maintenance Management of Silk Trees
A comprehensive introduction to the experience of woody flower silk trees, including the reproduction and maintenance management of silk trees, let's learn about them together next.
Silk trees are positive species that thrive in warm and humid environments, are cold-tolerant, drought-tolerant, and can grow in poor soil. The bark is not resistant to strong sunlight in summer. They grow better in sandy soil. Silk trees are planted throughout the country, with more in the Yangtze and Pearl River basins.
Seed collection is done in October, and sowing is in the spring of the following year. After 3 to 4 years, when the trunk of the young tree reaches a height of over 2 meters, it can undergo stem pruning. Select three lateral branches at different heights as the main branches to expand the crown. In winter, these three main branches are pruned short, and several lateral branches are trained on each main branch, arranged in a staggered manner to occupy a certain space. When the crown extends too far and the lower part becomes bare, it is necessary to promptly contract and change the top, cutting off the dead branches. Due to weak germination ability, it is not tolerant to pruning.
Silk trees have a beautiful posture, elegant leaf shape, bright flower colors, and a fragrant smell. They can not only beautify the courtyard but also be used for earthquake observation and research, achieving two benefits.
