Walnut tree transplanting precautions: do these things well for a higher survival rate
The footprint of walnuts covers almost the whole world, mainly distributed in many places in the Americas, Europe and Asia. So what are the precautions for transplanting walnut trees?
1. When the walnut sapling grows to about four meters, we can take it as the target for transplanting. Wait until around November to January of the Gregorian calendar, when the walnut sapling is in a dormant state. This is exactly the good season for transplanting.
2. It is best to plant before and after the walnut sapling sheds its leaves, that is, in October-November of the Gregorian calendar. At this time, the walnut sapling has already stopped growing new shoots and has basically entered a dormant state. Transplanting the walnut sapling at this time is in the transition period before freezing and while the sapling waits to sprout new roots and buds, and it has no adverse effect on the walnut sapling. Transplanting the walnut sapling during this period is also very beneficial to its growth the following year.
3. Then choose the transplanting site well, dig the hole well, and then choose a sunny morning to dig up the tree. The requirements for digging up the tree are slightly higher. If it is 20 cm, a soil ball 60-80 cm in diameter is completely enough. The depth of the soil ball is best around 80 cm. When digging to the large roots, they must be sawed off. Try not to let the soil ball collapse. Even if it collapses, it does not matter, but absolutely do not damage the roots, especially the root bark.
4. When filling in soil, it must be dry soil, fine soil, and tamp it firmly with a wooden stick. Make the water ring larger and the soil mound thicker. Water only after tying the support. Be sure to water thoroughly. If conditions permit, buy some rooting powder and irrigate the roots with water one week after planting. After that, there is no need to manage it.
