The latest planting method of Hawthorn

Hawthorn fruit may not be very common in our lives, but products processed by Hawthorn can be found everywhere, such as Hawthorn slices, Crispy Sugar-Coated Fruit and Hawthorn juice. Hawthorn contains less sugar and tastes sour, but it is the favorite fruit for some people who like to eat sour food. It can not only be eaten raw, but also can be dried as a medicine, so it has high medicinal value. So how to grow Hawthorn? Let's take a look at it.

1. Site selection and cultivation

Before planting Hawthorn, it is very important to choose a planting plot. Hawthorn has a strong ability to adapt to the soil, but the fertile soil and loose and deep soil can promote the growth of Hawthorn. The place to build the garden can be in the plains or hills, as long as the drainage and irrigation system in the garden is well done. Hawthorn can be planted all year round, but try not to plant it in winter. The temperature in winter is too low, which is not conducive to seed germination and seedling emergence, and its growth rate becomes faster and slower, which will have a certain impact on the fruit rate and quality in the later stage.

2. Soil preparation and sowing

After selecting the plot, then begin to prepare the soil, plough the soil for 15-20cm, spray disinfection and then expose the soil for another month to eliminate bacteria and parasites in the soil. Then mix the base fertilizer with the soil, put it into the pit, put the Hawthorn seedlings in the middle, and begin to fill the soil. Let the seedling root elongate better, contact the soil area bigger, enhance the absorption capacity of the root. After planting, pour enough water to set the roots, and the soil must be piled into a mound to prevent the seedlings from being blown down in windy weather.

3. Cultivate the soil by ploughing.

In the process of planting, the soil can be cultivated in time according to soil fertility and tree growth, so as to improve soil permeability, increase nutrients and promote root growth and development. Then start fertilization, fertilization can not be a single application of a certain kind of fertilizer, should be equipped with reasonable nutrients, balanced nutrition. Too little fertilization will make Hawthorn lack of nutrients, reduce the growth rate, and affect the ripening and quality of fruit. Excessive fertilization leads to excess nutrition, excessive growth of branches and early fruit drop, which will also have a certain impact on yield and quality.

4. Shaping and pruning

The branch growth ability of Hawthorn is very strong, and the lack of timely management of branches will have a serious impact on the growth and development of the trunk. There is not enough nutrition supply, which makes the trunk very weak. Therefore, in the process of planting, we must prevent the increase of branches and the excessive growth of branches, cut off the branches of overgrowing and diseased branches, and retain some fruiting branches that do not grow excessively. Make the Hawthorn tree stronger and grow better. When the crown branch of the Hawthorn tree grows to about 40 cm, it should be cut off by 30 cm and continue to grow. Too many branches will lead to a decrease in both the growth of the trunk and the permeability in the tree.

Hawthorn tree in addition to the need to water enough after planting, only need to water 3-4 times a year, each season once a year. Hawthorn planting is relatively simple, but the time to gain benefits will be longer, so we need to have enough patience, pay will be successful! The prospect of planting Hawthorn is relatively good, friends who have time and conditions can consider it. This article is for reference only. I hope it will be helpful to you.
