How to plant pyracantha seeds

Firethorn mainly grows in Hunan, Hubei, Guangxi, and Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan region, mainly growing red fruit, also known as red fruit, edible, once eaten wild fruit on the Red Army marching road, also known as rescue army grain. But the fruit doesn't taste very good. Nowadays, they are all cultivated as ornamental plants. The cultivation of pyracantha mainly depends on sowing specific how to plant, we can explore.

1. Seed treatment

Pick wild seeds directly and soak them in water. After a few days, after the flesh is soft, the flesh will be scrubbed off directly. After rinsing many times, the clean seeds will be taken, dried and stored in the sun, because the seeds will mature in autumn, but the seeds will not be sown until the next spring. Soaking seeds with a certain concentration of gibberellin before sowing, sowing seeds directly in the seedbed and covering the soil with appropriate depth should be applied flexibly.

2. Build a seedbed.

Nursery bed construction is square, ditching depth is about 8 cm, width can be used for one person to pass, seedbed width is 1.2 meters, length can not exceed 8 meters, and then according to the terrain construction. But generally too long is not conducive to drainage, if the terrain is very long, the middle can be disconnected, ditching, leaving roads. The soil should be fine, there should be no big mud lump, and it is difficult for seeds to germinate.

3. Sowing method

Directly in the seedbed open 5 cm wide ditch, leave 3 cm gap, open several ditches, sow, require direct and uniform sowing. It is also possible to sow seeds evenly in the seedbed without trenching, and then prepare separate full soil mulching. There is to raise seedlings directly in the seedling tray, seedlings are easy to raise seedlings, one seed in a hole, two seeds in a container. In this way, it is necessary to prepare sand, grass carbon and soil to form nutritious soil. But easy to manage, easy to moisturize.

4. Seedling raising method

After the seeds are white, continue to moisturize and reduce moisture after sprouting. After the seedlings grow into true leaves, they can be watered once a day, and once every two days after they grow tall. Grow to 5 centimeters can add light fat and water, provide nutrition, and finally promote growth. After too much watering, the soil of the seedling plate is easy to be lost, and the soil after disinfection can be added with blood. Planting on the ground requires inter-seedlings to get rid of weakly diseased seedlings. We should also pay attention to the prevention and control of seedling diseases.

Firethorn is a wild plant on the mountain, but it is used in modern landscape modeling, as an ornamental plant and as a bonsai plant. As an ornamental fruit plant. This is the embodiment of its value. These are all the seed planting methods for Pyracantha.
