Persimmon planting time

Persimmons are generally planted after falling leaves in autumn and before sprouting in spring, that is, November and February-March are more suitable planting times for persimmons. Persimmon is generally propagated by grafting, and its planting density is determined according to topography, soil, variety, management conditions and so on.

First, persimmon planting time

Persimmon is generally planted after falling leaves in autumn and before sprouting in spring, that is, November and February and March are the best time for persimmon planting.

2. Planting techniques of persimmon

1. Timely planting

The best time for persimmon planting is generally after falling leaves in autumn or before sprouting in spring, which generally does not exceed Rain Water's solar terms. The planting density is determined according to topography, soil, variety, management conditions and so on. The row spacing of mountain astringent persimmon is about 6 m × 6 m, and that of sweet persimmon is 5 m × 5 m. The row spacing of flat astringent persimmon is about 7 m × 7 m, and that of sweet persimmon is 6 m × 6 m. The caves planted are generally 70 cm deep and 70 cm wide.

2. Pruning branches

Generally, adult trees put into production should carry out moderate pruning after defoliation in winter, mainly short pruning, cutting off dense branches, crossed branches, long branches and diseased branches, so that branches can be distributed reasonably, increase fertilizer and improve soil. The roots of persimmon trees are very deep, so we should dig holes and apply more fertilizer in order to make the trees grow and flourish.

3. Strengthen the management of fertilizer and water

Persimmon drought tolerance is weak, the soil is too dry will lead to poor growth of fruit trees, soil water content of about 40%, persimmon is the best growth. The soil of orchard should focus on improving the air permeability and water retention of soil. The specific measure is to drench enough root water after planting, once every 5 days until the seedlings survive. The fertilizer needed by persimmon is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, followed by the mixed use of phosphate fertilizer and potash fertilizer.

4. Carry out the work of clearing the garden in winter

After the autumn fruit is picked, the diseased fruit, diseased stem, withered branch, fallen leaf and overwintering disease and insect source should be pruned in time, so that the disease and insect can grow smoothly in spring.

5.Propagation by grafting

The persimmon trees planted in the north mainly use Junqian seed as rootstock, soften with ripe fruit, wash off the pulp and take out the seeds for reserve.
