Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Metasequoia glyptostroboides is suitable for warm and humid climate, cool summer, snow but not cold winter, annual average temperature 13 ℃, extreme lowest temperature-8 ℃, extreme highest temperature 35.4 ℃, frost-free period 230 days; annual precipitation 1500 mm, annual average relative humidity 82%. The soil is acid mountain yellow soil, purple soil or alluvial soil, and the pH value is 4.5 Murray 5.5. Mostly born in the valley or foothills near the gentle terrain, deep soil layer, moist or slightly stagnant water, strong cold resistance, strong water and moisture resistance, can grow in light saline-alkali land

Metasequoia glyptostroboides is suitable for warm and humid climate, cool summer, snow but not cold winter, annual average temperature 13 ℃, extreme lowest temperature-8 ℃, extreme highest temperature 35.4 ℃, frost-free period 230 days; annual precipitation 1500 mm, annual average relative humidity 82%. The soil is acid mountain yellow soil, purple soil or alluvial soil, and the pH value is 4.5 Murray 5.5. Most of them are born in places with gentle terrain, deep soil layer, moist or slightly stagnant water near valleys or foothills, with strong cold resistance and water and moisture resistance. they can grow into light-loving tree species in light saline-alkali land, and their roots are well developed. the speed of growth is often dominated by soil moisture, and grows slowly in places with long-term stagnant water and poor drainage, and the base of the trunk is usually inflated and longitudinally angled.

Metasequoia glyptostroboides is generally propagated by sowing and cutting. Metasequoia glyptostroboides generally enters the seed-setting peak at the age of 40-60 years old, sows in late March, and germinates and emerges half a month after sowing. Hardwood and tender wood cuttings are also widely used to cut 1-year-old healthy branches from 5-year-old seedlings as cuttings with high survival rate. Hardwood cuttings are carried out in early spring, cuttings should be cut immediately after defoliation, bundled into bundles, stored in sand for winter, cut after warming, and watered immediately after cutting to keep the bed moist. In the period of sprouting and leaf expansion, we should water frequently and build a shade shed. The softwood cuttings were cut in the first and middle of June, and the semi-lignified twigs about 12~15cm were selected, and the top 2-4 leaves were left, and inserted into the soil 4~6cm. After planting, water should be sprinkled frequently, shading should be strict, and rooting would take place after 20-25 days. The seedling was as high as 25~30cm in that year. In the seedling stage, we should pay attention to setting up a shed for shade, often watering and fertilizing properly.
