The latest planting chestnut precautions

Chinese chestnut is the most common nut in our life, also known as "hairy chestnut" and "chestnut". It has the laudatory name of "king of dried fruit". Chinese chestnut has a large planting area all over the country, but because of the vast territory of our country, Chinese chestnut is divided into two different regional forms: northern chestnut and southern chestnut. But the same thing is that they all have a strong spleen and stomach. Tonifying the kidney and other effects, for pregnant women is more fitness and bone-strengthening effect. Today, the editor will introduce to you the matters that should be paid attention to when planting Chinese chestnut.

1. Temperature

The most suitable temperature for the growth of Chinese chestnut is 8-15 degrees, but most of the chestnuts in the north are hardy, so the lowest temperature they can bear is-25 degrees. The suitable living temperature of Chinese chestnut is related to variety and tree age, and the younger the tree age is, the weaker the cold resistance is. Therefore, the heat preservation and cold protection of young trees is the key factor to ensure the yield. However, some experiments show that Chinese chestnut can still grow and bear fruit at the temperature of minus 35 degrees, but the relative growth is poor, the fruit is small, the yield is low, and the quality is poor. Therefore, when planting chestnut, the temperature must be controlled at the suitable growth degree of chestnut.

2. Moisture

Chinese chestnut is relatively adapted to the rainy and humid climate, excessive drought will affect the growth and development of trees, resulting in a significant reduction in yield, especially in the rapid growth stage of Chinese chestnut. If there is no sufficient water supply in time, it will have a certain impact on the growth and fruit of Chinese chestnut. Although Castanea mollissima likes water, it is not resistant to waterlogging. if the stagnant water in the orchard is not discharged in time, the roots will be affected by the soaking of stagnant water, resulting in nutrient absorption and defoliation, and in serious cases, even the whole tree will die. Proper watering before ripening can promote fruit growth and increase yield, but too much fruit cracking is also easy to occur.

3. Lighting

Chinese chestnut is a light-loving tree species, can not be in the shade environment for a long time, the daily light time should be at least more than six hours, if it does not meet the light time of six hours, it will cause the crown to grow erect, the leaves small and thin, the branches soft, and the yield reduced. In the period of blooming and fruiting, the lack of light will also cause the phenomenon of falling flowers and fruit. if the chestnut tree is kept in shade for a long time, it will lead to yellow, thin and even withered branches and leaves in the tree. Therefore, when planting Chinese chestnut, we must choose sunny slopes with sufficient sunshine to remove the overgrown branches and enhance the permeability between the trees.

4. Soil

Chinese chestnut is suitable to be planted in acidic soil, the pH value can grow well in 5-6 soil, if it is more than 7.2, it will be underdeveloped. The soil should be relatively loose, if it is too sticky, the porosity in the soil is small and easy to harden, which hinders the growth of the root of Chinese chestnut. Therefore, when planting chestnut trees, we must pay attention to the choice of soil, even if planted in the soil suitable for the growth of Chinese chestnut, we should strengthen soil management, apply fertilizer and water, and so on, so as to ensure the high yield of Chinese chestnut. Increase output and improve one's own economic interests.

These are the points that need to be paid attention to when planting Chinese chestnut, and what needs special attention is the water. Chinese chestnut loves and is afraid of water. Both like water and afraid of waterlogging, so if you encounter continuous rainy weather, not only to ensure the daily light time, but also timely discharge of stagnant water in the orchard. And we should also pay attention to the two seasons of spring and autumn, which are often dry, which have a great impact on the yield of Chinese chestnut, so we must pay more attention to the watering of these two seasons.
