How to grow Hawthorn

Generally, by sowing, wild Hawthorn can be harvested directly, and the seeds can be soaked in water for about 60 ℃ for half an hour, then soaked in cold water for about 5 days, and then exposed to the crack in the sun If the purchased seeds, first soak in water for 1 day, then soak in about 60 ℃ of water, then soak in the sun during the day and soak at night, repeat to more than 50% of the cracks in the seeds for 80 days, and then accelerate germination and sow seeds to cultivate rootstock seedlings.

1. Seed treatment

Wild Hawthorn species: rinse the seeds in the picked wild Hawthorn, then soak the seeds in 60 ℃ of hot water for 30 minutes, and constantly stir to ensure that the seeds are heated evenly, then take out the scalded seeds after soaking in cold water for 5 days, put them in the sun until the seeds are cracked, and then plant them.

Buy seeds on the market: soak the seeds in water for 1 day, scrub the seeds, soak them in hot water of 60 ℃, expose the seeds in the sun during the day, soak them in water at night, repeat until the seeds have more than 50% cracks, and then carry out sand stratification.

2. Sand reservoir

The temperature of seed sand storage should be controlled at 0-5 ℃. After stratification for about 80 days, the seeds can be germinated, and then sowed to the field to cultivate rootstock seedlings. According to the size of the seedlings planted in the nursery, the soil should be turned over before the seedlings, organic fertilizer should be applied to the soil to obtain soil moisture, and after the seedlings should be watered in time, the daily management should be strengthened to promote the survival and growth of the seedlings.

3. Colonization

The growth of the aboveground part of the Hawthorn seedlings planted in that year will be relatively weak, and after slowing down the seedlings in the second year, the growth will become more and more prosperous. with the continuous growth of tree age and daily reasonable management, the seedlings will grow better and better. in the process of planting, it is necessary to prune the fruit trees at the right time, but when pruning, we should avoid swinging because the growth is too strong. In order to ensure that the tree structure and skeleton are firm, the extended branches must be cut off. In order to promote the rational distribution of branches and ensure the yield and quality of fruit.

Hawthorn can grow and develop normally in thin mountain land, and Hawthorn seedlings can achieve high yield after 5 years of planting. Generally speaking, the yield of Hawthorn orchard with better fertilizer and water conditions will be higher, and the fruit phenomenon of large and small years will also be reduced.

Hawthorn trees blossom and bear fruit relatively early. In order to reduce the insufficient nutrient absorption of fruit trees and produce fruit in large and small years, fertilizer and water should be applied regularly to ensure sufficient nutrients in the soil, promote the growth and fruit of fruit trees, and improve fruit quality. Adult Hawthorn trees store more nutrients, as long as the number of fruit is not particularly large, the probability of annual fruit is relatively small.
