How does Firethorn propagate?

Hippophae rhamnoides is a small evergreen tree with beautiful shape and excellent ornamentality. it has good dust filtering effect and strong resistance and absorption to toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide. it is often planted by the roadside and can also be planted in the courtyard. Its roots, leaves and fruits can be used as medicine, and it has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification, treating sores and swelling, so do you know how it propagates? Let's take a look at its breeding method.

1. Seed propagation

Sowing is the mainstream method of propagation of most plants. Pyracantha produces fruit every autumn and ripens in winter. Seeds can be collected and its fruit will last until February-March of the following spring. The fruit was picked before sowing, the pulp was removed and the seeds were removed, washed and dried to wait for sowing, soaked with low concentration of gibberellin before sowing, soaked in the soil after sowing, covered with soil 3-4cm after sowing, watered to keep the soil moist, waiting for emergence.

2. Cuttage propagation

Hippophae rhamnoides can also be propagated by cutting. if you use the method of cutting to propagate Hippophae rhamnoides, it is best to choose the period from November to March, so as to ensure that the survival rate of cutting is more than 90%, and the survival rate of short cutting is low in the rest of the time. First of all, a firethorn plant that has grown for 2-3 years is selected as the mother plant, and the leafy branches that grow for 1-2 years are selected. The length can be cut at 15cm, and the top of the branch is cut into a wedge. When cutting, dig a small hole deep in 10cm, plant the branches, expose the ground 5cm, then fill and step on the ground, and then water the soil at all times to keep the soil moist and wait for survival, or you can apply rooting powder on the cuttings to facilitate rooting.

3. Striping propagation

Hippophae rhamnoides can also be reproduced by pressing, which takes too long and is generally not used in production. Its reproduction time is more sufficient, except in winter, the rest of the time can be carried out. The plants with strong growth and more than 3 years old were also selected as the mother plant, and the branches growing close to the ground for 1-2 years were selected. In order to lose the deep root as soon as possible, the cambium part of the embossed strip was cut or peeled, and then buried in the soil for 10-15cm, the ramet could be formed in about 1-2 years, then it could be separated from the mother plant and waited for transplanting.
