1. Planting time

Hawthorn seedlings are generally planted in October-November in autumn. This is the dormant period, allowing sufficient time to adapt to the environment without causing loss of water and nutrients. It is not suitable to plant during the budding period in spring. At this time, its nutrients are supplied to the leaves and flower buds, and it is difficult to take root after planting, resulting in poor growth or even gradual death

2. Planting method

1. Select the land and turn the soil: Hawthorn Seedlings are suitable for growing in deep, loose, fertile soil. The terrain should be higher to avoid flooding during the rainy season. Dig the surface soil to a depth of about 30cm and then level it to facilitate planting. 2. Seedling selection and pruning: The grown saplings should be planted in a place with strong branches and free of diseases and insect pests. Before planting, the seedlings should be properly pruned, retaining 2-3 mixed buds, and thinning out the main branches. 3. Planting: Dig a hole in the selected place, making it slightly deeper. Fill the excavated topsoil with a little bit of it, and mix in some base fertilizer at the same time. After half-filling, plant saplings inside and compact the soil while filling. After planting, water thoroughly and gently support the sapling so that the roots are in closer contact with the soil. 4. Follow-up maintenance: Since hawthorn saplings are transplanted in the dormant period, there is little demand for fertilizer and water at this time. Daily watering should not be too much, and the water temperature should be well controlled. Do not water the roots with cold water to prevent frostbite. At the same time, do not fertilize to avoid fertilizer accumulation and root burning in spring.
