Planting Cephalotaxus tree introduction Cephalotaxus prefer warm and humid climate, also relatively cold hardy, suitable for planting in the area south of the Yangtze River. The average annual temperature of the planting place is required to be 14-17 degrees Celsius, and the cumulative temperature greater than 10 degrees Celsius in a year is more than 8000 degrees. The lowest temperature in winter is higher than -15℃. Requirements for the first frost in a year after the first half of November, in mid-March before the final frost.
The Cephalotaxus tree has a lifespan of several hundred years, compared to its age, its fruit growth period is not too long, and many people in folklore call the Cephalotaxus tree a hundred years old.
China is the first country in the world to produce tephrosia. China's Cephalotaxus production area is concentrated mainly in two major mountain ranges. One is the Huiji Mountain Range and the other is the Mufu Mountain Range. It is recorded that there are seven species of Cephalotaxus in the world, including four in China, two in the United States and one in Japan.
The Cephalotaxus tree planting a few years results in the Cephalotaxus tree, this plant has a long growth cycle, saplings about eight years to bear fruit, while the maturation cycle is also long, every three years of time the fruit can only be mature once. Here to see the detailed planting method.
1, clean the roots: go to a specialized store to buy a few healthy seedlings, and then remove the rotting part of the roots, wash the surface of the deterioration of the object.
2, prepare the soil: according to the number of saplings to prepare a suitable planting area, and fill the cultivation soil, can be used ordinary mountain soil, and then sprayed with water, so that the soil is moist enough.
3, planting: after preparing the soil, put the saplings directly in it, cover the roots and fix them, do not have to bury them all, bury one-third of them.
4, late maintenance: after planting first placed in the sun for a few days in the sun, and watered every six hours, less than two weeks will be able to draw new shoots.
Grafted tephrosia tree how long to blossom and bear fruit tephrosia tree cultivation is difficult, slow growth, grafted seedlings generally take about ten years to hang fruit, the number of fruits in the first period is small, the later period is much better.
When does a potted Cephalotaxus tree hang fruitPotted Cephalotaxus tree fruit from the time of blossoming to fruit maturity, it needs to be picked after a long period of three years.
Why doesn't the Cephalotaxus tree bear fruit 1, Cephalotaxus tree doesn't bear fruit may be because of not adapting to the environment, Cephalotaxus tree is a tree that prefers a warm and humid environment, it is not picky, but it can't be adapted to grow in some extreme environments, such as high altitude and mountainous areas, for Cephalotaxus, it may take a long time to adapt.
2, it may also be because of insufficient nutrients, for the tephrosia tree, nutritional supplementation is extremely important, to realize the tephrosia early fruitfulness, abundant yield, stable yield, high quality objectives, fertilizer management is very critical. If not given enough nutrients then it will not bear fruit.
The high yield of tephrosia tree planting technology points 1, nurturing management: because the tephrosia is more susceptible to burn, so the first year of planting in the summer to do a good job in the cooling measures, in the orchard for the construction of awnings for the tephrosia tree shade, to avoid being burned by sunlight. Build awnings need to use mesh material, so that both shade and permeability.
2, fertilizer management: growing tephrosia trees need a lot of nutrients and water, so for fertilization and irrigation work should be carried out in a timely manner, especially in the summer, because the temperature is high for a long time, resulting in easy evaporation of water in the soil, in order to ensure that there is sufficient water in the soil, need to be in the tephrosia roots covered with a layer of weeds, to reduce water evaporation.
3, pruning and shaping: if you want to improve the rate of tephrosia results, you need to carry out appropriate pruning and shaping of tephrosia trees to control the height of the tephrosia tree as well as the length of the branches and leaves. Appropriate pruning to ensure that the height of the crown of the tephrosia tree in the 4m to 5m between the shaping and then its appropriate pruning, cut off the weak, diseased and too dense branches can be.
4, loosening and weeding: loosening the soil is to improve the permeability of the soil, to promote the growth of tephrosia roots, weeding is to avoid the depletion of nutrients and water, to ensure that the tephrosia can absorb sufficient nutrients and water, so loosening and weeding is essential in the planting of tephrosia period.
5, control of pests and diseases: once there are pests and diseases, the growth of tephrosia will be affected by the larger, a variety of pests and diseases in the most common tephrosia small curly moths, rust snails, termites, the control of pests and diseases need to use pharmaceuticals, each kind of pests and diseases have a special pharmaceuticals, just according to the proportion of the spray tephrosia tree can be.
