How much does a Manchurian ash sapling cost? A detailed explanation of planting key points

The Manchurian ash tree is also called bigleaf ash, Northeast ash, or white ash. It is a high-grade industrial timber with hard wood and beautiful grain, and it holds a certain position in the market. In addition, the bark of the Manchurian ash has certain medicinal value and can treat tuberculosis, trauma, and so on. Manchurian ash is mainly distributed in China's Shaanxi, Hubei, Gansu, and other places, and it has relatively high soil requirements. Let's take a look below at approximately how much a Manchurian ash sapling costs per tree? What are the key planting points?

1. Approximately how much does a Manchurian ash sapling cost per tree?

The price of Manchurian ash saplings is approximately 1-25 yuan per tree. The price is affected by factors such as region, market conditions, seedling specifications, purchase quantity, and purchasing channel.

When buying Manchurian ash saplings, be sure to choose them at a formal nursery market, and try to select saplings with intact plants and no pest or disease infestation.

2. What are the key points for planting Manchurian ash trees?

1. Soil requirements

The soil requirements for planting Manchurian ash are relatively high. It must be sandy loam or loam with good soil fertility, deep soil, good looseness, and strong drainage.

2. Planting

After the Manchurian ash saplings are planted, the withered saplings and dead saplings should be removed, and then thinning and replanting should be carried out, keeping them as uniform as possible so that the height after planting can remain consistent. Weed and loosen the soil four times each year. This can effectively adjust the density of the Manchurian ash saplings. After thinning, irrigate promptly.

Manchurian ash saplings are prone to infection by diseases, because at this stage, just after planting, they are not very adapted to the soil and environment, so disease occurrence should be prevented promptly. Choose Bordeaux mixture at a concentration of 8 percent for spraying. When June or July arrives, apply ammonium nitrate or urea for fertilization.

When the Manchurian ash saplings grow to a height of about 1 m, they should be dug up as seedlings, generally in spring.

Two to three years after the Manchurian ash seedlings are planted, they can be transplanted again.

3. Pruning

The growth of Manchurian ash cannot be separated from pruning. For better ventilation, pruning work is generally carried out after transplanting, removing dead branches. In addition, the first pruning work after canopy closure and forest formation should be carried out when the Manchurian ash trees produce more than two rounds of dead or dying branches after canopy closure. The branches should be trimmed, and the height must not exceed one third of the tree's height.

4. Pest and disease control

When Manchurian ash trees are planted artificially, they are relatively prone to pest and disease infestation, so prevention must be carried out promptly to improve the quality of the Manchurian ash trees. Observe the growth of the Manchurian ash trees promptly, especially the underside of the leaves, where insect eggs are easily hidden. Once pests or diseases are found, apply medication promptly to avoid serious effects.
