Planting techniques of Camellia sinensis the fruit of camellia in several years

Speaking of camellia, we must be familiar with it, right? Camellia is native to China and is a kind of pure natural high-grade oil unique to China. Camellia oil is rich in nutrition and has a considerable prospect in the market, which has led to the large-scale planting of camellia trees. However, there are still great questions about how to plant camellia.

Planting techniques of Camellia

1. Environment

Camellia should be placed in a warm, moist, ventilated and transparent place. Sufficient light should be given in spring and shade should be paid attention to in summer to avoid direct sunlight and western basking. If you put it on the balcony, you will die in the sun if you are not careful. It is advisable to put it in the room with a room temperature above 3 ℃ in winter.

2. Watering

The cultivation of Camellia bonsai should keep the soil moist, but it should not be too wet to prevent dry and wet. Generally, it can be properly watered in spring to facilitate sprouting and shoots; in summer, it is best to spray foliar water to make the leaves drenched, not directly irrigated and fully irrigated, not hot water, to avoid high temperature before and after noon; appropriate amount of watering in autumn; watering in winter is appropriate before and after noon, but every two or three days.

3. Fertilization

Camellia likes fertilizer, we should pay attention to put base fertilizer in the basin soil, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, including mature bone powder, hair, chicken feathers, rice chaff ash, poultry dung and superphosphate and other substances. Usually should not fertilize too much, generally apply 2-3 times thin fertilizer water between April and May after flowering, and apply a slightly thicker water and fertilizer in autumn November. When using fertilizer, we should pay attention to a slightly larger proportion of phosphate fertilizer in order to promote the blooming and colorful flowers.

4. Pruning

The growth of camellia is slow and should not be over-pruned, which will generally affect the tree-shaped overgrown branches as well as disease and insect branches and weak branches. If there are too many buds on each branch, only 1-2 flowers can be thinned, and keep a certain distance, and the rest should be picked as soon as possible so as not to consume nutrients. In addition, it is necessary to pick close to withered flowers in time, which can also reduce the consumption of nutrients to facilitate the robust growth of plants and the formation of new flower buds.

Camellia trees bear fruit in several years.

It takes seven or eight years for camellia seedlings to bear fruit, two or three years for cutting seedlings to bloom, and two years for grafted seedlings to bloom. Camellia is one of the four major woody oils in the world, and it is a kind of pure natural high-grade oil unique to China.

The bud of the camellia tree begins to form from April to May every year and blossoms from October to November. At the same time, the tea fruit of the previous year is almost ripe and the flowers and fruits are on the same branch. Therefore, the camellia tree has the reputation of "embracing the son and carrying the child". Camellia fruit ripening cycle is long, from flowering to fruit ripening through spring, summer, autumn, winter nearly seven seasons of cloud nourishment, absorb the natural essence, is indeed a rare treasure in the world. Camellia fruit, commonly known as camellia seed, is spherical and peach-shaped, which can extract important natural green organic health edible oil-camellia oil.

Propagation methods of Camellia sinensis

1. Cutting

Camellia has strong stem and branch regeneration ability, so the survival rate of cutting and grafting is very high, and the propagation speed is fast, the operation is convenient, and the economic benefit is high, so it is widely used in production. Under better growth conditions, Camellia can be cut all the year round, usually in summer and autumn, but the survival rate is higher in the rainy season around June, so it is favorable for cutting rooting and sprouting growth.

2. Grafting

It is often used for varieties with difficulty in rooting or few propagation materials. The survival rate of grafting was the highest when the new shoots were semi-qualitative from May to June, and the shoots sprouted quickly after grafting. The rootstocks are mainly Camellia oleifera, which are collected in October, stored in winter and sown in early April of the following year. When the seedlings grow to 4-5 cm, they can be used for grafting.

3. Pressing strip

In the rainy season, strong 1-year-old branches are selected, 20 cm from the top, peeled in a ring shape, 1 cm wide, bound with rotten leaf soil and covered with plastic film, rooting after about 60 days, cut off can be potted directly, the survival rate is high.

Distribution of producing area of Camellia

It is mainly distributed in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing and Shandong in China, as well as in Japan and Korean Peninsula. There are wild species in Sichuan, Taiwan, Shandong, Jiangxi and other places, which are widely cultivated in China. Camellia is a semi-negative plant, suitable for growth under scattered light, afraid of direct light exposure, seedlings need shade. However, long-term overshade is disadvantageous to the growth of camellia, thin leaves, less flowering, affecting the ornamental value. Adult plants need more light to facilitate flower bud formation and flowering.

In fact, the planting method of camellia is not very difficult, and it has a strong ability to adapt to the environment. However, if you want the fruit rate of camellia to be satisfactory, it has something to do with the maintenance and management during the planting period.
