How to plant willows

Cuttings:

1. Cuttings were carried out in early spring, and excellent plants with fast growth and few diseases and insect pests were selected as mother trees. 2-3-year-old branches were cut before sprouting and cut into 15-17 cm long as cuttings.

two。 Cutting plant row spacing 20 × 30 cm, straight cutting, fully watering after cutting, keeping soil moist, timely sprouting and weeding, topdressing 3-4 times after rooting.

3. In the first few years after planting, weeds and weeds should be weeded or covered from the base of the plant, and attention should be paid to the prevention and control of weevil, aphid and willow leaf beetle.

Sow:

The seeds of willow were collected in April and sowed as they were picked. Generally sowing about 0.25 kg per mu, the seedling height of the year is 80-100 cm. The transplant should be carried out from the defoliation in winter to the bud in the early spring of the following year, and the pillars should be fully watered and supported after planting.

Burrowing:

1. Before planting, dig the planting hole, less than 80 cm × 80 cm × 60 cm. At the same time, it is necessary to evenly spread trichlorfon and other drugs in the acupoints to prevent insect pests.

two。 After transporting the seedlings, the root system should be trimmed first, and then planted immediately. It should not be too deep when planting. Fill the bag with good soil and compact it.

3. Immediately irrigate once after planting, and then pour water for the second time after soaking. For the next two months, water the soil every half a month to keep the soil moist. In addition, we should also do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests.

Although the adaptability of willow is good, but after many generations of vegetative reproduction, the growth potential declines, shoot withering and premature senescence are easy to occur. Therefore, when planting, we must select the excellent, robust, disease-free willow as the mother tree.
