1. When does hawthorn usually mature?
1, hawthorn usually matures in September-10.
The harvest time of hawthorn mainly depends on the maturity of fruit. But also according to the local climatic conditions. In cold areas, the growth period is short and limited by frost, so the harvest should be early; In warm land, the growth period is long and can be harvested according to the maturity of the fruit.
The ripening of hawthorn fruit is generally characterized by bright color, plump fruit, obvious fruit points and easy picking of fruit stems. Fully ripe fruit has a strong taste, while immature fruit is sour. Over-ripe fruit, the pulp becomes loose and spongy, and the fruit drops before harvesting, and the storage capacity decreases. For fruits stored for a long time, strict harvesting time should be chosen.
On the specific time, September-65438+10 is the concentrated time for hawthorn to mature, and hawthorn has been listed one after another.
2. There is little difference between north and south, mainly related to varieties.
The maturity of different varieties is significantly different, so it should be harvested by stages and packaged and stored by varieties.
Second, what are the basic conditions for planting hawthorn?
1 environment
Hawthorn has strong adaptability to the environment and likes cool and humid places. The ability to resist cold and drought is relatively strong. It can survive as low as MINUS 20 degrees to 30 degrees, mainly distributed on slopes with a slope of about 20 degrees, such as halfway up the mountain and sunny slopes. Drought-tolerant, its branches will grow when the humidity is too high. Although there are not too many requirements for soil, it will grow rapidly in weak acid soil with fertile soil and good drainage.
2. Lighting equipment
Hawthorn is a light-loving crop, but some people say that it has strong adaptability, so it can grow in weak light, but at a slower speed. From sowing to ripening, as long as the light conditions of hawthorn are met, the yield and quality of hawthorn will be improved, the fruit will be full and fleshy, the peel will be bright and colorful, and more nutrients will be accumulated. Therefore, in the process of planting hawthorn, in order to improve the yield and quality, it is necessary to provide sufficient light for hawthorn trees.
3. Humidity
Although hawthorn is drought-resistant and waterlogged-tolerant, the safety degree of soil water content is 9.34~ 1 1.66%, the wilting degree is 7.28~9. 13%, and the mortality rate is 5.8~8.6%. Therefore, as long as the soil moisture content is above 14%, hawthorn can grow well, and as long as it can be irrigated evenly, high yield can be obtained. Although it is relatively waterlogged-tolerant, it is not suitable for planting in soil with high water level or poor drainage, otherwise it may lead to stunting.
4. Temperature
Hawthorn likes temperature, but it can't develop normally in high temperature areas; Some qualities are extremely cold-resistant, and can develop normally at 7- 14 degrees. Experiments show that hawthorn can adapt to the lowest temperature of MINUS 34 degrees and develop normally. But in this low temperature climate, hawthorn may cause freezing injury. The temperature mainly depends on your planting area, and the best temperature is around 12-30 degrees, which can ensure the yield and quality of hawthorn.
