In 11-12 months after deciduous leaves or after flowering in early spring, 1-year-old sturdy branches (without flower buds) were intercepted, which were 10 mm long and 18 cm long, and inserted into the sandy soil seedling bed. The embedded part was about 1 × 2 cm, and the row spacing was 10 cm × 20 cm. Keep half moisture after insertion, pay attention to watering and other management work. Spring cutters have to build a shade during the summer.
