Its blooming period is from April to May, and it is relatively tolerant to barrenness, and can grow normally in sandy loam on barren mountains and sandy lands, with strong adaptability. It is an excellent ornamental plant with very high ornamental value and strong adaptability, which can also do a good job in greening work. Let the editor take you to see the propagation methods and cultivation methods of Ruby海棠.
ruby海棠 can be propagated by grafting and sowing. The rootstock for grafting Ruby海棠 is common海棠 or hawthorn, and the seeds are treated by stratification. Autumn sowing does not require treatment, while spring sowing seeds need to be stratified, and the following methods can be used:
Open-air mixed sand burial method: Before the ground freezes in late November, dig a pit 70 cm deep and 80 cm wide in a high ground, well-drained area, and the length depends on the number of seeds. In early spring, sprinkle some water on the seed pile to prevent excessive dryness. After the soil thaws, check the temperature and humidity in the pit every week. The temperature in the pit should be maintained at 0-5°C. By late March to early April, take out the seeds, place them in a greenhouse with a temperature of 20-25°C to germinate, and once the seeds sprout white, they can be sown.
Planting
In the spring, when the seedlings have 4-5 true leaves, thin out the dense seedlings in time.
Irrigation
After the seedlings have emerged, if the leaves of the seedlings show signs of wilting at noon, they should be watered immediately. Then water every 10-15 days, stopping in early September. Water 9-10 times a year. When the seedlings enter the rapid growth period, apply urea once at the end of June, with a fertilizing amount of 8 kg per mu, sprinkle on the ridge, and water immediately.
Shaping and Pruning
In the first year of planting, it is the seedling establishment period, and the pruning should not be excessive. In the second year, prune the dead branches in time to train the main branches. Generally, select 4 pairs of healthy and evenly branched lateral branches as main branches, remove the rest, preferably stronger at the bottom and weaker at the top, the main branches should form a 40°-60° angle with the central leading stem, and the main branches should be staggered, with a distance of 30-40 cm between each pair of main branches in each direction. The ratio of the crown width to the height under the branches is generally 2:1, forming a conical crown shape.
These are the main propagation methods and planting methods for Ruby海棠. Of course, Ruby海棠 can also encounter many diseases, such as gray mold and stem rot. Planters should remove dead branches and leaves, pay attention to ventilation, and use appropriate pesticides for spraying. Ruby海棠 has a very high ornamental value, whether it is the dense ruby-colored flowers during the blooming period or the heavy red fruits during the mature period.
