The kumquat tree is an evergreen shrub or small tree, the fruit is golden yellow, with a fragrance, is an excellent fruit flowers, suitable for potting ornamental and bonsai, at the same time, its flavor is sweet and sour, the southern warm planting for fruit tree business.

So how is the kumquat tree breeding? What is the best way to breed? Breeding kumquat trees and need to pay attention to what matters? Please read down with me with your questions!

The breeding method of kumquat tree (basic knowledge):

The best time to reproduce: spring, summer, fall can be carried out, the most suitable in the fall, the general survival rate of more than 90 ｛bf｝.

The best growing soil: deep, fertile, well-drained and acidic sandy loam.

Humidity requirements: Spray the foliage once a day to increase air humidity. Spray water 2 to 3 times a day in summer and spray water to the ground.

Optimal Growing Temperature: The optimal temperature is 23 to 29 degrees Celsius.

Best Growing Light: Since kumquat prefers cool climate in summer, or the intensity of summer sunshine, it is better to be in a slightly sheltered place.

Notes on the breeding of kumquat trees:

Spreading fertilizer: fertilizer on the full general 7 to 10 days a fertilizer, the concentration can be no more than three in three is appropriate, buds and flowers should pay attention to the application of adequate phosphorus fertilizer in order to facilitate fruiting.

Watering points: avoid spraying water during the flowering period to prevent rain during the flowering period, and do not spray water on the flowers that are opening, which is not conducive to pollination, but also prone to rot.

Pruning essentials:

1, citrus young trees should take light pruning. Generally only cut off the long branches, withered branches, pests and disease branches and sprouting stumps.

2, citrus into the fruiting season, can first lose the ability to bear fruit on the periphery of the crown of the senescent branches from the base of the cut, in order to restore the strength of the tree, the fruiting season of the citrus, the new shoots of the current year, in addition to the long shoots, generally do not grow, and some in the apex of the same part of the draw 2 to 3 branch tips, and the length of the same, for such a same class of branches, available to stay strong and go to the weak method, deletion of a part of the thinning.

3, to the winter did not, to reach the lignification of the soft branches can be cut from the base, citrus of the long branch, more long in the backbone of the branch, the long can be more than 1 meter, and there are thorns. The longest branch is often bare in the middle and lower part of the branch at the apex of the 1/3 often sprouted into a broomstick branch, not only disturbing the shape of the tree, but also cover the other branches. The long branch, in addition to the need to stay to supplement the crown of the vacant, should be cut from the base, preferably in the young buds or shoots in time to erase, so as not to consume nutrients.

Potting soil replacement: because the nutrients in the potting soil is absorbed by the fruit tree or in the frequent watering in the shower off, every 2-3 years need to be timely inverted pots, replace the new nutrient soil. Soil group inverted out, cut the potting soil around the 2-3 cm thick old roots, organic fertilizer and nutrient soil mixed to fill the bottom, and then take the soil group on the pot, and then add fertilizer around the filling of the soil, watering a thorough watering.

Breeding points: spring, summer and fall can be carried out, the fall is the most suitable, the general survival rate of more than 90 ｛bf｝.

Pest control: Spray 50 ｛bf｝ sarcosine 1000 times liquid or 80 ｛bf｝ dichlorvos 1000 times liquid in the larval stage, outside the branches and trunks to kill the pupae.

The kumquat tree is usually planted in the orchard in addition to large areas, it can also be potted, then potted kumquat tree we should pay attention to what?

The kumquat tree is commonly used grafting propagation, grafting methods are cut, bud and leaning grafting and branching. In the spring in March-April with the cut method, bud in June-September, potted plants are commonly used by the method, in April-July, potted kumquat trees require proper fertilizer management, the number of times and the amount of fertilizer, according to the growth of the trend, the climatic period to be determined. Remember to appropriate flower thinning, and growth and development requires more water, moderate watering in spring, the fall will require more water, but in late autumn and winter is the flower bud differentiation period, the pot dry should be dry. The degree of light should also be grasped.

kumquat tree in the process of daily maintenance should pay attention to, to prevent the flowering of rain, and do not spray water on the flowers that are opening, which is not conducive to pollination, but also prone to rotting flowers. Kumquat like warm and humid and sunny environment, long placed in the indoor sunlight, plant growth weak, affecting the differentiation of flower buds and results, so it should be placed out of the window occasionally in the sun.
