How to choose the seeds of Jingtao? What are the methods of raising seedlings?

Jingtao is a small tree of Rosaceae, native to North China and cultivated in most parts of Northeast China. It is a small tree for viewing flowers, trunk and bark. Because Jingtao is an early flowering tree species in Northeast China, and its bark is red and bright in winter, it is deeply loved by people and is widely used in landscaping. So how to choose the seeds of Jingtao? What are the methods of raising seedlings? Next, let's have a look with the editor.

First, how to select the seeds of Jingtao?

The larger seeds (260,380 seeds per kilogram) were selected for planting Beijing peach, and the seeds with extra small seeds, severe discoloration and wormhole were removed before sowing.

Second, what are the seedling methods of Beijing peach?

1. Land selection and preparation

Choose fertile sloping land or flat land with good drainage, and the pH value is 5.5 to 7.0. The ridge cultivation land is more than 18cm, and the border land is more than 15cm. Such as large-scale reproduction, it is best to adopt ridge cultivation.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

Autumn sowing is better than spring sowing and autumn sowing is suitable for sowing in the middle and last ten days of October, not too early, so as to avoid emergence of seedlings at any time and suffer frost injury. The sowing depth can be controlled in 3~4cm. The distance between ridges and ridges is 60~70cm, and the distance between plants is about 20cm. In the seedling stage, it is necessary to transplant and separate plants year by year, and the maximum spacing of lateral branches is suitable.

3. Transplanting seedlings

The physiological activities of Beijing peach are complicated, especially after defoliation in autumn to before complete dormancy, the physiological activities of roots can still be carried out slowly after defoliation, and the survival rate is very low after transplantation. it is mainly caused by the disorder of root physiological activity and even the freezing of roots after winter. The most suitable period for transplanting Beijing peach is from mid-April to early May, but it is not suitable for transplanting in autumn and winter.

4. Anti-sprouting and seedling management

There are more sprouting branches of Beijing peach seedlings, especially more sprouting branches of 2023-year-old trees, which often form sprouting branches at the base of the trunk due to mechanical damage or too large spacing between plants, and some even exceed the trunk, so they need to be removed and pruned in time. If there is serious damage to the base, the trunk can be cut off and replaced by the largest sprouting branch. The seedling management of Beijing peach includes water, fertilizer, shovel, wading, weeding and so on, which is the same as that of other tree species.

The above is the introduction of Jingtao, Jingtao is an excellent tree species for viewing flowers and fruits, and its fruit is shaped like apricot, which is the ornamental part in early autumn, so the protection of fruit should be strengthened in the growing season. Jingtao likes light and temperature, so it is not suitable to irrigate too much water and provide water according to the need. Fertilization is the same as that of other tree species.
