Common varieties and planting time of blueberry seedlings

Blueberry, also known as blueberry, Benedictine, persimmon, and so on, is a small berry tree of perennial shrubs of the azaleaceae family. It is called blueberry because the fruit is blue, and the fruit is rich in nutrients. It has the functions of preventing brain nerve aging, protecting eyesight, strengthening heart, anti-cancer, softening blood vessels, enhancing human immunity and so on. Let's take a look at the planting time of blueberry seedlings.

Planting time of blueberry seedlings

The best time to plant blueberries is from autumn to the following spring before sprouting, because the seedlings in this period are easy to transport, manage and plant. Northern areas are generally planted in spring, autumn planting in winter is easy to suffer frost damage, spring planting is usually from March to April, generally choose 2-3-year-old seedlings, one is cheap, the other is strong adaptability, it is easy to grow.

Planting environment of blueberry seedlings

Blueberries are basically distributed around the world, mainly in areas with cool and sunny climates, such as Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Russia, Europe, North America and the Chinese mainland in Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia and Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province. growing at 900m to 2300 m above sea level, blueberries are found in coniferous forests, peat bogs, mountain tundra and pastures, and are also an important part of heather shrubs. The quality of blueberries in North America is well-known all over the world. Semi-alpine blueberries are suitable for growing in temperate cold zones, northern high-clump blueberries and some semi-high-clump blueberries are suitable for warm temperate zones, and rabbit-eyed blueberries and southern high-clump blueberries are suitable for growing in subtropics. There are many wild variety resources of blueberries such as Benedictine blueberries and blueberries in Changbai Mountain and Daxing'an Mountains in Northeast China.

What are the planting techniques of blueberry seedlings?

[FAQ] what are the planting skills of blueberry seedlings?

[expert answers]

Blueberry seedlings are blueberry fruit trees. Blueberry fruit tree cultivation originated in the United States. After more than 100 years of research and cultivation, more than 200 excellent varieties adapted to local climatic conditions have been selected. So, what do blueberry seedlings need to pay attention to in the planting process?

1. Location: blueberries have very high requirements for soil and climate. In addition to the soil PH value that everyone pays close attention to, some trace elements are also fatal factors for blueberry planting, and climatic and hydrological conditions such as precipitation and temperature are also very important.

2. Seed and seedling selection: it is well known to select suitable seedlings according to soil and climatic conditions, and buying authentic provenances, strong growth potential and undegenerated provenances is the key to determine the success or failure of the project. Shandong Linyi and other areas have purchased false seedlings, waiting for the seedlings to grow into a non-fruitful event, bringing irreparable losses to businesses. Yilin has deep cooperation with many blueberry seedling institutions in the United States for many years to ensure the authentic and renewal speed of the provenance. At the same time, using its own unique technology, the one-year seedlings cultivated can catch up with the market seedlings of three years.

3. Soil improvement: when blueberries are planted in China, most areas need to go through soil improvement, mainly focusing on PH value and organic matter. Different varieties have different requirements for soil indexes, some of which can not be reflected in the seedling growth stage. There will be a big difference when it comes to the results. At the same time, the investment of blueberry seedlings in Yilin garden is higher, and reducing the cost to improve soil according to local conditions can save costs for businesses.

4. pest management: the principle of prevention is adopted in blueberry pest management, and it is appropriate to choose biological pesticides and chemical pesticides with high efficiency, low toxicity and low residue performance and use alternately scientifically and rationally.

[editor's comments] Blueberry is a perennial shrub, small berry tree, its fruit is a kind of blue berry, originated in North America, there are relatively few blueberries planted in China, so, do you know blueberry seedling planting? The above first Agricultural Economics Xiaobian introduced to you the planting skills of blueberry seedlings. I hope it will be helpful to you.
