How much does a plum sapling cost? Plus key planting and cultivation points

Plum, also known as Jiaqingzi, Bulin, plum, Yuhuang plum, mountain plum, ripens in July and August each year. There are many plum growers now, and many people contract large orchards and land to grow plums, so they are certainly very concerned about the price of plum saplings. Today let's take a look together at the price and cultivation points of plum saplings.

1. Price of plum saplings

The closer winter gets, the more carefully you should do the preparation work for the following year, so that you are not caught in a rush when the time comes. The current price of plum saplings is about 2.6 yuan each, with a trunk diameter of 15 cm, a height of 150 cm, a crown width of 20 cm, and a ground diameter of 2.9 cm. There are also many areas where the price of plum saplings is concentrated at 1.3-2.8 yuan, which mainly depends on how many you buy; if you buy more, the seller will naturally give an appropriate discount.

2. Cultivation techniques for plum saplings

The cultivation techniques for plum saplings cannot be separated from the few points we often mention.

1. Field management

Field management of plum saplings mainly consists of turning the soil and applying fertilizer. Topdressing should follow the principle of frequent but light application, and more application during the shoot stage. Fertilizer should be added and stirred in an appropriate amount according to the growth rate of the plum saplings. It is best to dilute it first, then stir it evenly before watering it on. As the young saplings grow, the amount used will naturally increase as well. In summer, prune the branches and buds according to the shape of the whole tree, generally starting with the longer branches. In winter, find the dead branches and diseased or pest-infested branches and cut these off, so as not to affect nutrient absorption.

2. Fertilizing and watering

After the plum saplings gradually survive, you can begin digging between the rows to set the row spacing and make raised beds. The raised beds are mainly used for drainage, irrigation and fertilization in summer. When the plum saplings are relatively small, you can fertilize once every ten days. After each fertilization, be sure to remember to water. At other times, whether to irrigate can be decided according to changes in the weather. After watering is completed, remember to loosen the soil.

3. Temperature control

The dormant period of pear saplings is neither long nor short, about 40 to 50 days, and during the dormant period they need to be cared for at low temperatures. When the flowering period arrives, the daytime growing temperature for plum saplings should preferably not exceed 22 degrees Celsius; high temperatures will cause the plants to dry out. Humidity can be adjusted by mulching. According to the air and temperature, using mulching to increase or decrease humidity is better.

That is all for today's introduction to plum saplings. If you are interested in planting and cultivating them, you can look for a distributor in advance; otherwise, if you plant them but have no sales channel, it is the same as working for nothing. It is suggested that you open up the marketing channels before carrying out specific plans.
