The price and planting method of fig seedlings

Figs are the fruits of deciduous shrubs of the genus Ficus of Moraceae, also known as Ampelopsis grossedentata, Milk berries, Pingxian Fruit, etc., originally from the Mediterranean coast. China was introduced from Persia in the Tang Dynasty, and now it is cultivated in the north and south, especially in the south. Its cultivation value is very high and the benefit is very obvious. Let's take a look at the price and planting method of fig seedlings.

How much is a fig seedling?

The price of fig seedlings is about 2-4 yuan, but it varies according to the variety, specification, origin and quantity of fig seedlings. At present, it is known that there are 800 varieties of figs, most of which are evergreen, and only those growing in temperate regions are deciduous varieties. They like warm and humid climate, barren, drought-resistant, cold-resistant and waterlogged. It is suitable to be cultivated in sunny, deep, loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil or clayey loam.

What kinds of figs do you have?

1. Blanc: both summer and autumn fruit species, summer fruit is less, mainly autumn fruit, summer fruit is oval, autumn fruit is inverted vertebra or Obovate, the average weight of single fruit is 50g to 60g, the pericarp is yellowish brown, the flesh is reddish brown, the tree potential is moderate, the tree posture is semi-open, the tree body is dwarfed, the branch is weak, the continuous fruiting ability is strong, the yield is not high, cold tolerance and salt tolerance are strong.

2. Green bark: both summer and autumn fruit species, mainly autumn fruit. The autumn fruit is in the shape of an inverted vertebra, with a single fruit weighing 60-80g, light green at maturity, the top of the fruit does not crack, but the shoulder of the fruit is cracked and the pulp is purplish red. The tree is prosperous, the tree posture is half-open, the branches are stout, the branches are less, the cold resistance is medium, the disease resistance is strong, and the salt tolerance is strong.

3. Penglai persimmon: special species for autumn fruit, but very few summer fruit. The autumn fruit is inverted vertebra or oval, the top of the fruit is round and slightly flat and easy to crack, the single fruit weighs 60 to 70 grams, the pericarp is thick purplish red, the flesh is bright red and sweet, but the flesh is thick and has no aroma. The tree is extremely strong, the tree posture is upright, and the crown is tall and vigorous. Sparse branches, long and stout branches, good cold resistance.

Propagation methods of figs

1. Cuttage propagation: in the middle and late March, fig cuttings selected strong branches obliquely inserted into the soil, the rest exposed, filled and compacted, watered to keep the soil moist, rooting for about 1 month, and transplanting after 1 year.

2. Split propagation: figs are planted separately from February to March, planting according to the row spacing of 3 × 3 meters, pruning before planting, removing dense branches or withered branches, and planting before sap flow or leaf spreading.

3. Striping propagation: the striping propagation of figs is relatively simple, which is the same as that of ordinary flowers and plants, but because the propagation coefficient is small, it is often used when it is difficult to propagate cuttings and ramets or when it is necessary to reproduce larger new plants.

The planting method of figs

1. Timely planting: figs can be planted in pots or in barren slopes, fields and courtyards, the planting density can be increased appropriately, trees can be thinned properly when they grow up, mixed fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium should be used as base fertilizer, and transplanting after defoliation in autumn. the flowering and fruiting period should be avoided.

2. Rational fertilization: if the basal fertilizer is insufficient in the growing period of young fig trees, about 5 kg of rotten miscellaneous fertilizer should be applied at 40 cm away from the main root, and 15 kg of rotten farm manure should be applied to mature trees. Topdressing should be in the period of vigorous shoot growth and rapid expansion of fruit.

3. Drainage and irrigation: figs are more resistant to drought and waterlogging, and more water is needed during the period of shoot growth and fruit expansion, but the environment with long-term waterlogging or heavy stagnant water is easy to cause flower drop, fruit drop, leaf drop, and even death, so we should also pay attention to drainage.

4. Shaping and pruning: the technical requirement of pruning and shaping of figs is not high, and the natural happy pruning of multiple main branches is generally adopted, but the whole plant should retain 3 or 5 main branches, no lateral branches, and the main branch group is directly planted on the main branch.

5. timely harvest: figs mature from mid-July to November. Picking should be carried out in the morning or evening on a sunny day. There is a small hole at the top of the ripe fruit, and the peel is picked when the color of the inherent variety appears.

6. pest control: figs have fewer diseases and insect pests, which are easy to cause harm to mulberry cattle during the fruit growing period, and are easy to be damaged by birds when the fruit is ripe. In addition to artificially catching mulberry cattle and driving away birds, they can be killed artificially or medically. Scarecrows and other birds can also be used to drive away birds.
