Key technical points for selecting trees for log cultivation of shiitake mushrooms
In China, there are about one hundred plus tree species suitable for shiitake mushroom production, among which some tree species give relatively high shiitake yields, while others give relatively low yields. Generally speaking, trees suitable for growing shiitake mushrooms must first have bark of moderate thickness that does not shed easily, and second must be moderately solid, with little heartwood, more sapwood, and no toxic substances. From the perspective of economic value and use value, trees of Fagaceae, Hamamelidaceae, Aceraceae and Hamamelidaceae are generally ideal tree species.

Detailed Explanation of Key Techniques for Irrigation and Drainage of Jujube Trees
Water is one of the indispensable substances for the life activities of jujube trees. The more vigorous the physiological activity of a part, the higher its water content: the water content of root tips and tender shoots is 60-90%. The water content of leaves is 80-85%, and the water content of the trunk is 40-55%. During its growth and development, the jujube tree consumes a large amount of water; for example, photosynthesis consumes 125-1000 kg of water for every 1 gram of dry matter produced. At the same time, to regulate tree temperature, the jujube tree consumes a large amount of water through transpiration. Water is also the medium for all biochemical

Key Points and Detailed Methods for Pruning Young Pear Trees
For young pear trees, a single year without pruning and training will result in the loss of a reasonable tree shape and delay the arrival of the full fruiting period.
