Forestland selection and land preparation. Yangmei likes moisture and shade, the tree crown is large, the root system is widely distributed. Yangmei garden required to build in the altitude of less than 800 meters, the slope is less than 45 degrees, humus into the back, pH value of 4.5-5.5 acidic yellow soil, red and yellow loam, to the shade and ventilation, to facilitate intensive management for example, straw has a moisturizing and heat preservation effect. Seedlings will emerge after 80 days of sowing, the seedling rate is about 55%, after the seedlings can be transplanted in late April, each sapling spacing is probably between ten centimeters to 25 centimeters, so that you can effectively improve the survival rate of transplanting.
It is best to choose a lot with easy transportation and flat terrain. If it is a sloping land, the general slope does not exceed 5 ° is appropriate, the slope direction as far as possible to choose towards the north or northeast. Soil quality to fertile soil, loose texture, deep soil layer of sandy loam is good. Soil too loose sandy soil, the upper layer is easy to dry, the lower layer of fertilizer enough to put some of the injured root system with scissors to prune a little bit, the long ones should also be cut a little bit, and then later on is to see the height of the prunus, the height of the general retention of the 40 centimeters for the fixed pole, only to the top of the above top and one-half of the leaves minus the leaves, mainly in order to reduce the evaporation of water to improve its survival rate
Poplar plum saplings in the February-March each year to carry out Transplanting, during this period of prune tree sapling growth capacity is stronger, transplanting can be faster to adapt to the new environment. When planting, dig a hole about 1 meter wide and 80 centimeters deep, and apply a sufficient amount of base fertilizer. It takes about 4 to 5 years to produce fruit. When the prunus grows beyond its eighth year, it enters a period of vigorous fruiting. However, there are some excellent varieties of prunes that can bear fruit two or three years after it is planted, while some native varieties of prunes take five or six years to bear fruit.
Yangmei trees usually bear fruit in four to five years and come into full production after eight years. There are also varieties that are five to six years fruit, ten years after the full production period. If the seedling is planted the second year after grafting good varieties. The first 2-3 years immediately can be fruit. Yangmei will bear a lot of fruit every year.
