A neighbor of our hometown grows prickly ash trees in his family, with both thorn varieties and non-thorn varieties.

Second, how to cultivate prickly ash trees?

1. Nursery bed selection: pepper requires sufficient sunshine from the beginning of the seedlings, and the seedbed should choose sandy soil with leeward, sunny, deep, fertile and well-drained soil. Fine soil preparation before sowing, break the clods, so that the upper virtual and the lower solid. Combined with deep ploughing and soil preparation, 4000-5000 kg of rotten organic fertilizer, 8-10 kg of urea, 30-40 kg of superphosphate, 50 kg of vegetation charcoal or 10-15 kg of potassium sulfate were applied per mu. Make the border on the basis of fine soil preparation, the width of the border is 1-1.2 meters, and the length of the border is 6-10 meters.

two。 Seedling management: the seedling seeds of Zanthoxylum bungeanum bungeanum were unearthed for a long time in autumn, which was earlier than that sown in spring, so in arid areas or where the soil of the seedling bed was heavy, plastic film or wheat straw could be used after sowing, and water could be sprayed during drought, but it could not be flooded. The soil of the seedling bed is often kept moist.

3. Fertilizer and water management: Zanthoxylum bungeanum has developed roots and strong ability to conserve soil and water, so measures should be taken to preserve soil moisture in arid areas, supplemented with necessary base fertilizer and a small amount of foliar fertilizer to meet the fertilizer and water needs of Zanthoxylum bungeanum. Generally, after autumn and spring ploughing, organic manure such as circle compost and compost are applied once respectively. The amount of fertilizer application depends on the age of the tree and the amount of seed set, and the general plant is applied more than 20 kg. Extra-root topdressing starts from the flowering stage, about once a month, sprayed in the morning or evening, a total of 2-3 times.

4. Plastic pruning: pruning of pepper is best done at the end of autumn. When pruning, the excess branches at the base can be removed, leaving 3-5 main branches, and the shaping can be completed after 4-5 years. Finally, remove the central branch and cut it open.

5. Disease and pest control: there are many kinds of pepper pests in China, such as beetles, prickly ash beetles, prickly ash butterflies, prickly ash moths, big bag moths, black grasshoppers, pepper aphids, pepper scale insects, pepper red spiders, pepper gall midges, pepper tiger longicorn beetles, and so on. In actual production, we need to actively prevent the occurrence of these diseases and insect pests.

6. Harvest: at present, the picking method is still picking fruit by hand, not with leaves and branches. In addition to seed use can not be exposed to the sun, generally good weather, one or two days can be dried. Remove impurities during the drying process. Put the sun-dried pepper (do not separate the seeds) into a jar or plastic bag, seal it, and keep it for a long time.
