Key points of Prunus mume planting technology: young tree management is very important!

Ximei is more common in the fruit market in recent years. In the past, everyone couldn't name it, and many friends thought it was non-fruit food. In fact, the shape of plum and apricot is similar, but the color is purple. So today, let's learn about the technical points of planting plum trees together with Xiaobian!

Main points of planting techniques of prune

I. Construction of orchards

It is best to plant in mountainous areas, but not in tuyere. It is best to plant in deep soil, soil will not harden, clay, loose and breathable soil is the best choice, preferably sandy loam, but not sandy soil. Orchards need to build protective nets to prevent wild animals from entering, and drainage ditches should be dug in the park.

II. Management of young trees

In the first year after planting, the plant is mainly grown on the ground, and the pruning gradually develops into a tree shape that is easy to manage and beneficial to growth, such as natural open heart shape. The main trunk is about 1.3 meters from the ground, leaving 3 to 4 main branches short, leaving branches step by step later, and pruning the rest. Then it is to supplement fertilizer and water, promote growth and remove redundant buds and branches.

III. Flower and Fruit Management

Artificial pollination or bee release in orchard during flowering period can ensure the success rate of pollination and fertilization, improve fruit setting rate, prevent sudden low temperature during flowering period, spray 500 times green fresh solution during flowering period, prolong flowering period and avoid low temperature causing fruit reduction. Need to thin fruit thin to weak branches weak fruit, sick branches, dry branches, dense branches drooping branches, internal space to be vacated, ventilation and light transmission. This can reduce nutrient consumption and concentrate on raising fruit.

IV. Other management

Covering the roots of planted fruit trees with grass or film is good for preserving moisture, interplanting leguminous grass such as Chinese milk vetch, leguminous roots can fix nitrogen fertilizer and increase soil nutrition, and grass can be turned underground to be used as green manure in the middle stage of growth. After fruit harvest to apply base fertilizer, young trees a 30 jin, adult trees a 80 jin. Using circular furrow method, topdressing once before flowering and once during fruit expansion. Each time a young tree 1 jin compound fertilizer, adult trees 2 to 3 jin compound fertilizer.

Today, the soil flow network summarizes the problems related to the cultivation of western plum trees for you. Planting western plum trees mainly requires more practice, and we cannot summarize our experience by reading books alone.
