Hazelnut saplings have to be maintained for 3-4 years before they bear fruit, and if the saplings are asexually propagated, they usually bear fruit in 2-3 years.
Hazelnut tree is a shrub or small tree of the genus Hazel in the family Birchaceae, born in the shady slopes of the mountains at an altitude of 200-1000 meters in the thicket, cold-resistant, preferring humid climate, the natural production of clumps of trees, trees up to 7-8 meters high, the height of the cultivated tree is 3-5 meters high, the flowering period in April-May, fruiting period of September-October, the following let's look at a few years of hazelnut tree planting the result! The first is to make the tree grow in a few years!
Hazelnut saplings should be maintained for 3-4 years before the results, if the asexual reproduction of the saplings, usually 2-3 years will be fruitful, in the planting of hazelnut trees, to use the sandy soil with good drainage and permeability, and to add well-rotted farmyard manure to the soil, and the later maintenance of hazelnut trees, should be diligent application of compound fertilizer, so that the rhizome grows stout.
In the Liaoning region hazelnut tree is mainly planted in April, while the Jilin region in April-May can be planted. In addition to the Northeast other regions of China are also planted hazelnut trees, Hebei region in late March planting, the Yellow River Yangtze River Basin in February-March to start planting.
Hazelnut tree planting conditions
1, temperature
Different kinds of hazelnut tree, the temperature requirements are not the same. For example, the European hazelnut prefers a warm and humid climate. Suitable for the average temperature of 13-15 ℃, the lowest -10 ℃, extreme high temperature 38 ℃ area.
2, light
Hazelnut tree is a light-loving plants, generally require annual sunshine hours of more than 2100 hours, otherwise it will lead to less bud formation, low yield.
3, soil
Hazelnut trees like to grow in fertile, well-aerated sandy loam, especially flat European hybrids on the soil requirements, dry sandy soil, clay, heavy soil, swamps, saline and lowlands are not suitable for the establishment of hazelnut garden. The soil ph value is 6.5-7.5 for the flat European hybrids and 5.5-7 for the European hazelnuts.
4. Cultivation
Hazelnut branches are easy to root, and indeterminate buds are easy to sprout root tillers. Therefore, it is usually propagated by pressing or grafting to cultivate seedlings. Early spring pressure with a year-old robust sprouting branches, June pressure with the current year's shoots as material. Grafting seedlings, more than with flat hazelnut seedlings as rootstocks.
