"Save the army food" how to grow firethorn?

Hippophae rhamnoides, also known as torch fruit, red thorn, auspicious fruit, etc., is an excellent spring flowers and winter fruit plants. Hippophae rhamnoides fruit can be eaten fresh or processed into a variety of non-staple foods, it is rich in organic acids, amino acids, vitamins and a variety of mineral elements, but also can be used to treat indigestion, enteritis and other diseases. So how do you grow fiery thorns? Next, let's take a look at the planting techniques of Pyracantha.

I. planting conditions

Hippophae rhamnoides is a typical tropical fruit, which likes temperature and has a great demand for light. However, Pyracantha can grow at lower temperatures. Experiments have shown that the lowest temperature for the growth of Pyracantha is minus 15 degrees Celsius. It is proved that Pyracantha has strong adaptability, but artificial planting should choose fertile, loose and deep soil. Orchards can not be built in potholed areas, which is not conducive to the nutrition absorption of pyracantha trees. After selecting the land, do a good job of deep turning and fertilizing, dig a good planting hole according to the planting quantity, and do not plant too closely.

Second, sowing seeds at the right time

After choosing a good soil, it is time to sow seeds, and there should be a correct way to plant firethorns. The sowing time should be in spring and autumn, the sowing method can be chosen to sow, and the seeds should be soaked and disinfected. Sprinkle it into the planting hole, then cover the planting hole with soil, when the seeds are not visible to the naked eye, then pour in the right amount of water. In order to ensure the germination temperature and humidity of the seeds, a layer of straw can be covered on the planting hole. When the seeds germinate and emerge, remove the straw and do a good job of checking and replenishing seedlings. Strengthen the management of seedlings, timely watering and fertilization, to provide a good environment for the growth of seedlings.

III. Fertilization and watering

According to the growth progress of Pyracantha fruit and the fertility of the soil, the nutrition demand of Pyracantha fruit will be different according to its growth stage. First of all, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied before planting, and then compound fertilizer should be applied 80-90 days after successful planting. Give priority to nitrogen fertilizer, supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. It is necessary to apply fertilizer in time before and after flowering to improve the flowering rate and fruit setting rate of Pyracantha, and there is no need to apply fertilizer during the overwintering period. Although Pyracantha is more drought-resistant, it also needs a certain amount of water. When the soil is dry and waterless, it should be watered in time to avoid the impact of water shortage on flowering. However, water should not be too much to prevent Pyracantha fruit from falling flowers and fruit due to excessive water. Before overwintering, enough water should be poured to help Pyracantha fruit survive the winter successfully.

4. Pruning branches and leaves

Without the work of shaping and pruning Pyracantha trees to grow freely, it will lead to disorganized crown of fruit trees, so that the internal branches of fruit trees lack of light, grow thin, and affect flowering and fruiting. Therefore, in order to improve the flowering and fruiting rate of Hippophae rhamnoides trees, it is necessary to reshape and prune the fruit trees regularly. Remove too many inflorescences so that the nutrition of the fruit tree is concentrated on the fruit. Hippophae rhamnoides trees have strong branching ability, but the fruiting rate of new branches is very low, so it is necessary to cut off the long branches, over-dense branches and weak branches in time to do a good job of pruning. The fruit should not be left too much, otherwise it will lead to thin fruit, poor quality, nutritional demand will also become larger, easy to appear "big and small year" phenomenon.

The above is the planting technology of Hippophae rhamnoides, do you understand?
