Planting techniques of jujube tree (longevity fruit)

Zizyphus jujuba is also known as longevity fruit, Wanzi pear, Jijiang Fructus Aurantii, chicken claw even, golden hook pear and so on, the fruit is rich in nutritional value, its wood is better, is a kind of high-quality wood. So, what are the planting techniques of jujube trees? Let's get to know it together.

1. Land management

The jujube tree is a kind of fruit tree with strong adaptability, which is also the reason why it is widely distributed in our country. However, in order to get a better harvest, the land we choose should be a little more fertile and the fertile soil layer should be deeper, because the jujube tree can grow to more than ten meters, and it is too shallow to take root. Secondly, it should be open around, there can be no very tall trees to shade, and the jujube tree has a high demand for sunlight. The site is relatively humid, and it would be better if it is around the river.

2. Cultivation of seeds and seedlings

Jujube trees, like many fruit trees, are cultivated by seeds. The seeds should be soaked for a few hours before raising seedlings, so that their epidermis slowly opens the transport channel with the outside world, and then the seedlings should be cultivated with moist soil. It is best if there is sandy loam, because the sandy loam soil is more breathable and is conducive to the development of seeds. The seeds are covered with 2-3 cm soil, and the cultivation spacing is about 10-20 cm. Attention should be paid to fertilization and watering after budding, and temperature control should also be done during the period. Never let the temperature below 10 degrees, which will lead to the death of seedlings, and can be transplanted to the planting site when growing to about one meter. Seedling raising time generally starts around November, and seedlings can be transferred in 4-5 months.

3. Cultivation and planting

Although the fruiting period of the jujube tree is very long, its growth is also relatively slow. The first 3-4 years will not bear fruit, and the fruit will increase gradually. At the initial stage of planting, the pit should be as deep as possible, 0.6-1 meter deep, and some fertilizer should be placed at the bottom. As an initial nutritional supplement, fertilizer can not directly touch the root. After planting, the soil should be slightly pressed and watered, and the weeds should be weeded irregularly in the first few years. The number of times can be gradually reduced, the initial fertilization is controlled in each season, the time is in the early stage of the alternation of seasons, and watering depends on the situation.

4. Post-management

In order to let the jujube tree have more branches, some people will bend the trunk of the jujube tree so that the sunny side can grow branches more quickly. when we do this, we must not do this too frequently, 2-3 times per tree. More will lead to the curved growth of seedlings. In terms of pest control, aphids are the common pests of jujube trees. 2000 times dimethoate aqueous solution will have this good control effect. In addition, the necrotic branches and leaves should be cleaned up and brought out of the orchard to prevent re-infection in the later stage.
