Detailed Explanation of Weeping Willow Planting Techniques and Management Methods
The weeping willow is a kind of willow with strong vitality. It is a common tree in landscaping, has high ornamental value, and is very popular in greening projects in various places. It is currently planted beside many park ponds. So what are the weeping willow planting techniques?
1. Site selection
Choose a relatively good seedling-raising plot. A good seedbed must be selected. The place should be relatively suitable, the land should be more level, more fertile, and free of pollution, and drainage and irrigation should also be relatively convenient, so that planting can be carried out better.
2. Building the seedbed
When building the seedbed, we can use materials such as reinforced concrete to build it. The height of the seedbed is generally about 2 m, and the length should be controlled at about 10 m. The main function of the seedbed is to allow our weeping willows to have a relatively good growing environment during the growth process, avoiding damage to the weeping willow seedlings from severe weather such as strong wind and rain, and low temperatures. In this way, it can be ensured that when the seedlings grow, the growth time matches the time we planned.
3. Raising seedlings
After the seedbed is built, deep plowing and land preparation should be carried out. After completion, a reasonable seedling-raising method must be used for cuttings or grafting. Both methods can be used for raising seedlings. If using cuttings, the branches of the weeping willow are collected for cutting. If using grafting, it should be done by cutting the same interface.
4. Management techniques after raising seedlings
After the seedlings are raised, management of water as well as temperature and humidity should be done well. Because seedlings do not have especially high requirements for water, there is no need to water them especially often. In terms of temperature and humidity control, the temperature should be maintained at about 15 to 30 degrees, and the humidity should be controlled at about 50% to 60%.
