Planting method of Hawthorn

Hawthorn fruit may not be very common in our lives, but products processed from hawthorn are everywhere, such as hawthorn slices, ice-sugar haws and hawthorn juice. Hawthorn has less sugar and a sour taste, but it is the favorite fruit of some sour eaters. It can not only be eaten raw, but also dried as a medicine, with high medicinal value. So how should hawthorn be planted? Let's take a look below!

1. Selected cultivation

Before planting hawthorn, it is very important to choose a planting plot. Hawthorn has a strong ability to adapt to soil, but fertile soil and loose soil can promote the growth of hawthorn. The garden can be built on plains or hills, as long as the drainage and irrigation system in the garden is well done. Hawthorn planting time can be planted all year round, but try not to choose to plant in winter. The temperature in winter is too low, which is not conducive to the germination of seeds, and its growth rate is also fast and slow, which will have a certain impact on the later fruit rate and quality.

2. Soil preparation and sowing

After selecting a good plot, then start preparing the soil, tillage the soil for 15-20cm, spray the pesticide for disinfection, and then expose it to the sun for one 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, start filling, fill the soil again and again while gently stepping on it with feet. Allow seedlings to grow better, contact the soil more area, and enhance the absorption capacity of roots. After planting, irrigate enough root-fixing water. The soil must be stepped on to form a mound to prevent the seedlings from blowing down in windy weather.

3. Cultivation

In the planting process, according to the soil fertility and tree growth conditions, the soil can be cultivated in time to improve the permeability of the soil, increase nutrients and promote the growth and development of roots. Then start fertilization, fertilization can not be a single fertilizer, should be equipped with reasonable nutrients, balanced nutrition. Too little fertilization will make hawthorn lack nutrients, reduce growth speed, affect fruit maturity and quality. Excessive fertilization leads to excessive nutrition, excessive growth of branches, early fruit drop, yield and quality will also have a certain impact.

4. Shaping and pruning

Hawthorn branch growth ability is very strong, no timely management of branches will have a serious impact on the growth and development of the trunk. There is not enough nutrition to make the trunk very weak. Therefore, in the process of planting, we must prevent the increase of branches and excessive growth of branches, cut off the branches with strong growth and disease branches, and retain some branches without excessive growth. Let hawthorn trees become stronger and grow better. When the hawthorn tree crown branches grow to about 40 cm, cut off 30 cm and continue to grow. Too much branching leads to reduced growth of both trunk and permeability in the tree.

Hawthorn trees need to be watered only 3-4 times a year, once a year in each season. Hawthorn tree planting is relatively simple, but the time to obtain benefits will be relatively long, so we need to have enough patience, pay will have success! Hawthorn planting prospects or relatively good, there is time to have the conditions of friends can consider. This article is for reference only and I hope it will help you.
