Detailed Explanation of Crisp Red Plum Planting Techniques and Management Key Points
The crisp red plum is a fruit with a balanced sweet-and-sour taste and a crisp texture, deeply loved by people. In recent years, more and more friends have gradually started growing crisp red plums. Below is an introduction to crisp red plum planting techniques.
1. Planting Techniques
The soil should be a sandy soil that does not easily accumulate water and has a somewhat deeper soil layer. Try to choose a spot with relatively high terrain, effective exposure to the sun, and good soil fertility.
2. Planting Time
The best planting time is from October each year to January of the following year. First break up the topsoil, then mix it with decomposed base fertilizer. Fill the soil back, cover the base fertilizer with a thin layer of soil, then place the seedling in the center and hold it upright, fill the soil back to 3/4, and then gently lift the seedling upward.
3. Pruning Techniques
When the trunk grows to 50 to 60 cm, trunk heading can be carried out. Buds on the trunk below 30 cm in height should be removed. When new shoots have sprouted to about 2 cm, choose 4 to 5 new shoots with relatively wide angles and relatively robust growth as the main branches, to facilitate their robust cultivation.
4. Fertilizer and Water Management
Before planting, be sure to deep-plow and improve the soil to ensure sufficient base fertilizer, and carry out hole expansion the following year, which is also beneficial to the growth of its new roots. Appropriate intercropping is also possible, but avoid planting tall-stalked crops. A method combining growing grass with clean cultivation can be adopted to let it grow naturally and prevent water loss. During the key periods when it needs water and fertilizer, remove the surrounding weeds. This can resolve the conflict of competition among them, also conserve water and fertilizer, and provide them with appropriate nutrients.
Growing crisp red plums may seem like a simple project, but there are actually quite a few things to pay attention to. Therefore, everyone must not be careless when planting them.
