Panthoxylum bungeanum can generally be sown and raised in spring and autumn. The most suitable time for sowing in spring is from March to April, and from August to October in autumn. The seedlings can be transplanted when they grow to about 4-5 cm. During the period before transplanting and planting, they should be top-dressed 2-3 times. Weak seedlings can be appropriately top-dressed to ensure that the pepper seedlings have a vigorous and robust growth.

Panthoxylum bungeanum trees with early fruiting period and large fruiting volume should be selected to collect seeds. Choose light sandy soil or calcareous soil that is neutral or slightly acidic to grow peppercorns. Do not plant Zanthoxylum bungeanum on plots that are too sticky, too sandy, too acidic, or too saline-alkaline. We also shouldn’t plant it in low-lying, shaded plots.

Panthoxylum bungeanum planting time

In the months when Zanthoxylum bungeanum is sown, sowing and raising seedlings can generally be carried out in spring and autumn. In spring, it is generally most suitable to sow in March-April, and in autumn. The most suitable months for sowing are from August to October, sowing in spring should be done after the soil thaws, and sowing in autumn should be done before the soil freezes.

Methods for planting Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees

There are three main methods of sowing Zanthoxylum bungeanum: broadcast sowing, hole sowing, and drill sowing. Broadcast sowing is relatively simple, but hole sowing is more troublesome. For drill sowing, you can sow at a density of about 10 meters in length, 1 meter in width, 20-25 centimeters in row spacing, and 5 centimeters in furrow depth. The seeding rate is controlled at about 6-10 kilograms per acre. .

Points to note when transplanting Zanthoxylum bungeanum seedlings

You can transplant the seedlings when they grow to about 4-5 cm, but pay attention to watering and moisturizing during the nursery period. In addition, during the period from the seedling stage of Zanthoxylum bungeanum to transplanting and planting, top-dressing should be done 2-3 times. Weak seedlings can be given more top-dressing fertilizer to ensure that the Zanthoxylum bungeanum seedlings will grow vigorously and robustly.
