The operation of cutting propagation is simple, the cost is low, and the breeding life can be greatly shortened.

The cutting propagation of tassel tree is usually carried out from July to August. The semi-lignified branches of the same year are selected and cut to grow 300px-375px cuttings. The upper mouth is flat and the lower mouth is horseshoe-shaped. The substrate is sandy loam, disinfected with pentachloronitrobenzene before use, and then irrigated with a flood after disinfection. When the substrate is more than half of the soil moisture, the cuttings can be cut with ABT rooting agent before cutting, the row spacing is 250px × 500px, water is irrigated every 7 days after cutting, spray every morning and evening, shading from 9 p.m. to 18:00, cattle and horse dung is fully applied in the nursery before winter, and fully watered with frozen water. The arch shed is set up with plastic film to facilitate its safe passage through the winter.
