Can cassia种子 be used for seedling cultivation?A comprehensive analysis of whether cassia seeds can be used for seedling cultivation and the simplest method of cassia propagation, with small plant cultivation tips. Corrections are welcome if there are any mistakes!Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, a large area of cassia trees in front of the farmer's house has bloomed. There's no mistake, the farmer didn't write it wrong, it is indeed a large area of cassia trees. Because in recent years, most of the young people in the village have gone to work in other places, and the ones left in the village are mostly elderly people, who can't do much farm work, so they have all planted cassia trees in their own fields.The economic benefits of planting cassia trees in the fields are quite good. Generally, after a few years, a cassia tree can be sold for several hundred yuan, and some can even be sold for over a thousand yuan. Many people say it's much better than growing crops! However, the cassia trees planted in the village are all wild seedlings found in the mountains and transplanted, not cultivated with cassia seeds!In fact, the propagation methods of cassia trees are relatively rich. They can not only be grafted or cut, but also propagated by seeds! Many people do not know that cassia trees can not only produce fragrant flowers but also bear fruit. The fruit of cassia trees usually starts to mature in April and May. Initially, they look like green grapes, and when they mature, they turn purple, at which time the seeds can be harvested.If using cassia seeds for seedling cultivation, it generally takes at least ten years for the trees to bloom. Cassia seed sowing is usually chosen in October of autumn or in spring. Moreover, after harvesting the cassia seeds, they must be stored for more than half a year before sowing. When sowing, the seed scar should be placed on the side to avoid the bending of the radicle of the cassia seeds, which may affect the growth of the seedlings. Because there are so many inconveniences with cassia seeds, most people choose to propagate through grafting or cutting.Compared to seed propagation, the flowering period is much shorter with grafting or cutting methods. For example, cutting usually takes four to five years to bloom, while grafted cassia can bloom even earlier, with some blooming in the same year, such as the four-season cassia, which often blooms in the same year, but most will bloom successively in the second or third year.Just like an old saying goes: Good food is worth the wait. Cassia trees have been cultivated in China for thousands of years. These trees have a long lifespan and do not have high environmental requirements, with strong vitality. Some can live for decades or even hundreds of years, and there are also some that live for thousands of years! Therefore, it's normal for cassia trees to bloom a bit later. If you want to plant cassia trees, the farmer recommends using the cutting method, as it has a high survival rate and does not require high technical skills.The above is a detailed explanation about whether cassia seeds can be used for seedling cultivation and the simplest method of cassia propagation.
