The method of identifying whether the stump is fresh or not is relatively simple, using fingernails to cut off pink or cyan and have a sense of wetness, it is proved that it is a fresh stump that has just been dug up, otherwise it will cause serious water loss. The main part of the pillar should have strong bud eyes, with obvious bulging shape as the best, this kind of bud eyes, strong germination, rapid growth and strong, bud eyes are not obvious had better not choose to stay, in general, even if the germination will be weak.

Second, the stump should have a certain number of lateral roots and fine roots, and the residual roots, broken roots and super-long roots should be cut off in time, so that it is easy to grasp closely with the soil after potting, so as to improve its survival rate.

Third, the planting time of the stump is usually carried out during the dormant period. the best time in the south is from January to March, and it is a little later in the north. in general, the survival rate will be greatly reduced after the Qingming Festival, so don't plant the tit plum stump at this time.
