How to plant honeysuckle treesToday's focus is on how to plant honeysuckle trees and topics about the planting season and requirements for honeysuckle, please correct me if there are any mistakes!Honeysuckle has been praised since ancient times as a good medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying. It has a sweet and cold nature with a fragrant aroma, which clears heat without hurting the stomach and can dispel evil spirits. Let me introduce the planting techniques of honeysuckle.Honeysuckle is a semi-evergreen twining shrub that flowers from May to July and fruits from August to October. The seeds start to produce flowers in the second year after sowing, and the flowering period lasts for over 20 years. It is strong and robust, liking sunlight but also tolerant to shade, drought, waterlogging, and cold. It can grow in both acidic and alkaline soils, and grows better in moist, fertile, and deep sandy loam soil with a well-developed root system and high yield.It can be planted on sunny wasteland slopes, edges of terraces, and beside rivers and streams. Apply 2-3 kg of organic fertilizer per mu before plowing and preparing the land. Make holes with a spacing of 0.75 meters by 0.75 meters, and add some decomposed organic fertilizer to each hole before sowing. There are two methods:1. Planting honeysuckle seeds. Harvest the seeds when they are mature in autumn, remove the skin, dry them in the shade, and store them. In the following spring, soak the seeds in warm water at 35-40°C for 24 hours, then make furrows 25 cm apart on the prepared seedbed, cover with 1 cm of soil, and then cover the ridge with a thin layer of straw and water. Seedlings will emerge in half a month, and they should be transplanted on a cloudy day in the spring. The seedlings need to be transplanted to ensure survival, with 2 plants per hole.2. Planting honeysuckle cuttings. The cutting period is divided into spring and autumn, with spring being suitable before the new buds sprout and autumn from late August to mid-October. Generally, choose 1-2-year-old healthy branches as cuttings, 25-30 cm long, with two methods of cutting: cutting seedlings and direct planting. If using cutting seedlings, the seedbed should be raised, with a ridge width of 1-1.5 meters, furrows spaced 20 cm apart, and the cuttings inserted diagonally into the furrows with a spacing of 5 cm, covered with soil and pressed down, with 2/5 of the cutting exposed. Water promptly during severe drought. Roots will start to grow in half a month, and the following spring or autumn is suitable for transplanting, using the same method. If direct planting is used, insert 5-6 cuttings per hole to ensure full growth.3. Planting honeysuckle by dividing roots. Dig up the mother plant and then plant the divisions separately. This method affects flowering the following year and is short of planting material, suitable for ornamental purposes.By the fifth year, the above planting method will result in a mature tree. One plant can be removed from every alternate row and planted elsewhere, which can maintain rapid and high yields while doubling the harvest area quickly.The above information introduces how to plant honeysuckle trees and the specific planting season and requirements, hoping to bring some knowledge about flowers to green enthusiasts.
