Tamarind, also known as the tamarind fruit, what is its planting method?

Tamarind, also known as the tamarind fruit, is a specialty fruit of Yunnan and is very delicious. So what is the planting method for tamarind? How can tamarind be grown well? The editor of Tuliu.com has summarized it for everyone below. Let's take a look~

1. Sow at the right time

1. After the fruit of the tamarind tree matures, select good fruits and take them out for planting. The seeds need to be washed clean first, and the pulp on the seeds should be removed. It is best to sow around the Beginning of Spring, but before sowing we should soak them in warm water for about two days. You can sow according to the method you choose

2. Under normal circumstances, after sowing, they can take root and sprout in seven or eight days, all seedlings can be complete in about twenty-eight days, and in one month they can grow to about twenty-five cm. The growth rate of the seedlings is still relatively fast, and the roots can extend to about fifteen cm. If you want to raise seedlings for afforestation, after preparing the land, you should dig the sowing holes during the rainy season and control the sowing density well.

2. Water and fertilizer management

1. During the seedling stage and new shoot growth stage of tamarind, in order to promote the growth of tamarind, fertilization is needed, mainly light fertilizer applied frequently. Only nitrogen fertilizer is applied, and the number of topdressings each year must not be less than three times. The number of topdressings should also be appropriately increased according to the extension of planting time

2. The fertilizer is mainly urea, and the amount of fertilizer applied should be controlled according to the age of the tree. For example, during the flowering and fruiting period of adult trees, this is the time of greatest nutritional demand. During this period, the amount of fertilizer applied should be increased, so that the flowering and fruiting rate can be improved

3. According to the growth habits of tamarind, calcium fertilizer and compound fertilizer should also be appropriately topdressed, so that the expansion of the fruit can be effectively promoted.

3. Shaping and pruning

1. The later management of the tamarind tree is relatively difficult, because the tamarind tree is suitable for growing into a large tree, so when planting we should appropriately dwarf the canopy of the tamarind tree, and the pruning work should be done well during the young tree stage

2. After about two years of planting, the lower branches, weak branches, and dense long branches should be pruned off, and it is enough to retain one or two main branches

3. Tamarind has high yield, so its nutritional demand is also very large. Therefore, when the trunk of the tree grows to seventy or eighty cm, it is necessary to retain three or four first-level main branches, and then they can be reduced level by level, promoting the growth of branches at all levels and expanding the canopy. In order to ensure the normal growth of the tree body.

In fact, planting tamarind is not difficult. As long as you put in more care, there will definitely be great returns. I wonder if the editor's article has helped everyone? Friends who like it are welcome to follow Tuliu.com. See you next time.
