When is the best time to transplant a pomegranate tree for a high survival rate?
Pomegranate trees can be transplanted in all four seasons, but for high yield and good quality, transplanting is generally best in early spring or late autumn in northern regions, and in late spring or late autumn in southern regions. When transplanting, maintain the row and plant spacing, preferably 2*3 m. For saplings transplanted in autumn, take appropriate cold-protection measures and water once a week, and they will grow healthily.
Precautions for transplanting pomegranate trees:
Water management after transplanting pomegranates is very important. After the pomegranate seedlings are planted, within a certain time and temperature range, the more frequently they are watered, the higher the survival rate. Use about 10 kg of water per planting hole. As for fertilizer management, in the year of planting, the main goal is to improve the survival rate, so fertilizing can be done at random. The amount of fertilizer depends on the age of the tree and the season. For three- to four-year-old pomegranate seedlings, 50 g at a time in spring is appropriate, and 75 g in autumn; for transplanting large trees, 100-200 times g at a time is appropriate. If human feces and urine are used, 5-7.5 kg at a time is appropriate for one- to two-year-old seedlings. For three- to four-year-old pomegranate seedlings, 7.5-10 kg at a time is appropriate; for transplanting large trees, 25-30 kg at a time is appropriate; the fertilizing method can be closed fertilization or foliar spraying during the growing period.
Before planting pomegranates, the trunk should first be headed back. The heading height is about 60 cm for one-year-old seedlings and 70-80 cm for two-year-old seedlings. For transplanted large trees, during the growing season promptly remove the young shoots and upright branches on the inner side of the pruning and saw cuts, so as to avoid affecting light, wasting nutrients, and disrupting the tree shape. Keep the outer buds and new shoots growing outward to develop the tree shape and fruiting branches. For large trees transplanted in the same year, remove the flowers and fruits or keep only a small number, so as to allow rapid recovery of tree vigor and an increase in yield the following year.
The above is an introduction to when to transplant pomegranate trees. We hope it is helpful to everyone.
