How to plant mulberry planting methods and matters needing attention

I still remember that one of the most interesting things in my childhood was sericulture. When it comes to late spring and early summer, the family will pick a lot of green mulberry leaves at home to feed silkworms. In fact, the role of mulberry is not only this, it also has a lot of value, can be edible, can be used medicinally. It takes years to grow a mulberry tree that can bear fruit.

How to plant mulberry trees

1. Planting time

It is generally chosen to plant in winter and early spring, and the soil temperature should be stable at about 10-12 ℃.

2. Planting preparation

Select good quality mulberry seedlings free from diseases and insect pests; prepare a container of suitable size, and it is best to choose a larger pot for mulberry potted plants. Mulberry trees do not have high requirements for soil, so you can use ordinary garden soil which is relatively loose and breathable. It is best to add some coarse sand particles or cinder to the soil, which is conducive to water permeability and plays a role in preventing soil consolidation. Before planting mulberry trees, you can first add some rotten organic fertilizer to the bottom of the basin as base fertilizer.

3. Planting method

When planting in summer and autumn, we need to pay attention not to hurt the roots as far as possible and protect the roots of mulberry seedlings; when planting in winter and spring, the overlong main roots need to be slightly trimmed to promote multiple lateral roots. The mulberry seedlings will be buried in the matrix, cover the soil gently to stretch the roots, and then gently pat and compact the soil and then loosen the soil, then pass through the rhizome about 3 cm, drenching enough water to fix the roots.

4. Planting and maintenance

It is suitable to put mulberry potted plants in ventilated and breathable places such as open-air balconies; keep the soil moderately moist, drench the soil in time when it is dry, and drain in time when it rains; loosen the soil and weed, which is conducive to the growth of mulberry roots; and insist on eating less and eating more when fertilizing. After mulberry seedlings sprout and open leaves, you can apply dung water or urea water and fertilizer for once. In the future, according to the specific growth situation, we can apply fertilizer for 1 time and 2 times. In addition, in the process of mulberry breeding, special attention should be paid to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests.

Mulberry planting methods and matters needing attention

1. Mulberry planting methods

1, selection pot: its root system develops very fast, as mulberry trees grow up, nutrients are not available, so they need to change pots, so that the seedlings will grow up and blossom and bear fruit.

2. Soil: don't be picky about soil, just ordinary garden soil. Add some coarse sand or cinder to the soil to ensure that it is permeable and not hardened.

3. Fertilization: when planting, you can add some rotten organic fertilizer to the bottom of the basin as base fertilizer. Or you can fertilize the edge of the flowerpot at a later stage. It must be rotten fertilizer, otherwise it will easily lead to leaf loss and leaf yellowing.

4. Watering: when blooming, do not water and fertilize too much, otherwise it is easy to fall flowers.

II. Points for attention

1. Choose fruit seedlings: some mulberry seedlings are said to be unfruitful by the elderly, so choose high-quality fruit seedlings. Once it doesn't blossom and bear fruit, replace it as soon as possible. So as not to waste time and space.

2. Lighting: Mulberry trees like light, are shady and cold-resistant, and are best planted on open-air balconies and roofs for easier maintenance.

3. Land: Mulberry has strong adaptability to soil, but before mulberry planting, it is necessary to arrange the land, flatten the land, remove debris and turn it deeply.

How to cut Mulberry trees

1. Material selection

General autumn cutting, it is appropriate to choose the upper part of the new mulberry strip is not corked and is about to be wooden part. The mother branch is a young mulberry tree.

2. Cuttings

Select the middle and lower part of the branch with strong growth, cut it into a section with a length of 15ml / 20cm, the upper bud should be full and disease-free, cut the tip of the flat bud and cut diagonally below the lower bud in the opposite direction. The cut needs to be smooth.

3. Promoting root

Soak the new mulberry strips in the rooting agent for about 4 hours, while the old mulberry strips need to be soaked in 6 Murray for 10 hours. After soaking, rinse them with clean water, put them next to each other and put them together. After they are dried, they can be planted. After that, the sand is stored to promote the root, and the clean river sand is used to form a certain border surface, and the treated cuttings are inserted into the sand with a distance of about 2-3 cm, so as to keep the sand moist and can be transplanted after rooting.

4. Planting

Cut the mulberry seedlings into the soil and leave two buds on the ground. After insertion, you should also step on the ground and finally cover it with a layer of nylon film.

Pruning methods of potted mulberry trees

1. Pruning

It is usually carried out during winter dormancy, cutting off dead fists, withered stakes, disease and insect branches, thin branches and so on. The part of the cut should be close to the branch intersection and the cut should be smooth.

2. Pruning

The pruning time is carried out during the dormant period of mulberry trees. Cut off the unsubstantial part of the tip tissue of mulberry branches. Generally, more than 1.5 meters of branches can be cut off 1x4-1gram, about 1.5 meters of branches can be cut off of about 1.5 meters of branches, and about 1 meter of branches of about 4 meters can be cut off. 10-15 cm is suitable for cutting off.

3. Sprout thinning

When the top of the mulberry tree grows to 10-15 cm in the same year, it is necessary to remove the overdense buds, so that the retained branches can grow stronger and the leaves grow more. generally, according to the soil fertility and tree strength, the fertile soil can be sparse less and stay more.

4. Pick out the core

The tender core at the top of the new shoot needs to be removed in the spring silkworm period. if it is a late-growing mulberry, it is generally carried out on a sunny day about 10-15 days before the leaves are used, while the early mulberry trees are carried out about a week before the leaves are used. The tender core of two leaves should be removed from the early leaves, and the tender core of one leaf can be removed from those with late leaves.

Mulberry likes to grow in a warm, humid and sunny environment, but it is also very adaptable to climate and soil, which is enough to prove that mulberry culture is not difficult. Mulberry is a kind of pruning plant, so we should prune it frequently in the process of maintenance.
