1, cutting seedlings
Apricot trees can generally be cut to raise seedlings, and cutting can generally be carried out in spring and autumn every year. During this period, apricot trees are in a vigorous growth period, and the cell activity in branches is high, so they can resume growth as soon as possible after cutting. And before logging, we should pay attention to climate change, and do it when the weather is clear.
2. Soil preparation
When apricot trees are cut to raise seedlings, we should also pay attention to soil selection. Apricot trees are suitable for living in soft and fertile soil and rich in trace elements. Therefore, during the cultivation period, sandy loam with rich organic matter and strong air permeability can be selected for cultivation, and the soil can be turned over before mowing to improve soil drainage.
3, seedling treatment
Before pruning apricot trees, you must choose branches that are robust, not affected by diseases and have buds. Before cutting, the branches should be properly treated, and the bottom of the branches should be trimmed into an inverted triangle with sterilized sharp scissors. Finally, they should be placed in clean water for about 1 week before cutting directly.
4. Cutting method
When apricot trees are cut to raise seedlings, the branches can be directly inserted into the soil, and the soil on both sides of the branches can be lightly pressed with fingers to avoid inversion. After the cutting is completed, enough water should be poured around the branches to soak all the soil, so as to create a moist growth environment for the plants and restore their growth as soon as possible.
