Reference on the price of green jujube saplings and the number of trees to plant per mu
Around the Spring Festival, green jujubes in China begin to hit the market in large quantities, and many people buy some to take home for guests. At this time, green jujubes are a bit more expensive and sometimes cannot even be bought, so many people consider growing one themselves. Then roughly how much does a green jujube sapling cost? How many can be planted per mu of land?
I. Introduction to green jujube:
1. Which regions produce green jujube?
Green jujube is a tropical fruit, so there are not many producing areas. It is mainly produced in Taiwan, China and Hainan. Among them, green jujube produced in Taiwan, China has high yield and early production. Generally, if planted in the same year, it can be harvested after 9 months of planting, and the yield per mu can reach about 500 kg or more. Green jujube produced in Hainan has large fruit, crisp flesh, and a small stone, and contains rich nutritional elements. It can generally be stored for a long time at room temperature or low temperature, so it is sold throughout the country, and its selling price is also relatively high.
2. What is green jujube?
Green jujube is a tropical and subtropical fruit of the Rhamnaceae family and the genus Ziziphus. The peel is light green, and the flesh is white or light yellow. The fruit is relatively large, with a single fruit weighing 100-400 g. It is rich in vitamin C and has the reputation of a “vitamin pill.” It also has the flavors of apple, pear, and jujube, so it is very popular. It generally begins to be marketed from November to March of the following year.
II. Roughly how much does a green jujube sapling cost?
The market price of green jujube saplings is not expensive, generally about 2-4 yuan per plant, but due to differences in variety, specification and size, and market, the price will vary to some extent. For example, at the Lechen Nursery Breeding Center in Tai'an Development Zone, Tai'an, Shandong, large green jujube seedlings with a diameter at breast height of 1 cm and a height of 150 cm have a market price of 1.5 yuan each. At Quancheng Nursery Cooperative, Taiwan green jujube seedlings with a diameter at breast height of 1 cm and a height of 50 cm have a market price of about 3 yuan each. At Tianyuan Nursery in Tai'an Development Zone, green jujube seedlings with a diameter at breast height of 3 cm and a height of 150 cm have a market price of about 3 yuan each. Therefore, different markets and different specifications sell at different prices, so when buying, try to check the local market.
III. Roughly how many green jujube trees can be planted per mu of land?
There are many types of green jujube, and each type is planted in a different region, so the number planted per mu also differs. For example, Taiwan green jujube grows fast and has a large canopy, so generally about 70 seedlings are needed per mu. If planted in high mountain areas, about 50 may be needed. In short, the more fertile the land, the more seedlings are needed, but generally it should not exceed 70.
If the green jujube seedlings have a relatively small canopy, generally about 110 are planted per mu. Of course, the soil must be fertile and the planting must be in plain areas. If planted on mountain or sloping land, it may be fewer.
Overall, the market price of green jujube saplings is not expensive, and generally one can be bought for 2-4 yuan. However, due to differences in specification, variety, and market, the price will vary, so it is recommended to check the local market. In addition, green jujube seedlings grow fast and have a large canopy, so when planting, the density must be well controlled to improve the later fruit-setting rate.
