How much do chestnut saplings cost? Master the best planting time each year

Winter is the season for eating chestnuts. Many farmers work hard all year and wait for the arrival of autumn and winter to increase their harvest. The price of chestnuts rises every year without falling, and the current chestnut market conditions are still very good. Regarding questions such as the price of chestnut saplings and planting time, many friends may not be very clear, so today let's take a look together with the editor.

1. Price of chestnut saplings

Chestnut saplings also come at different prices depending on the variety.

1. Dahongpao chestnut saplings currently cost about 2.1 yuan to 6 yuan, depending on the quantity you purchase. The main characteristics of Dahongpao chestnut saplings are large size, firm flesh, and a husk with strong wrapping properties. Every nut is visibly large, with soft and glutinous flesh, and its nutritional value goes without saying.

2. Huafeng chestnut saplings currently cost about 1.2 to 4.8 yuan, and depending on the purchase quantity, the price may rise or fall. The main characteristics of Huafeng chestnut saplings are thin skin and flesh that cracks easily. During planting, there may be several involucres on each fruiting branch, and the rate of empty involucres is very low.

3. Taishan No. 1 chestnut saplings. The price of Taishan No. 1 is about 2.5 yuan, with slight differences between regions. Taishan No. 1 chestnut saplings belong to a relatively beautiful variety, with a standard reddish-brown appearance, high gloss, a single weight of more than 18 grams, easy peeling, and high nutritional value.

2. When are chestnut saplings planted?

Chestnut saplings are generally best planted in late March each spring, and the survival rate of chestnut saplings planted during this period is relatively high. You can also choose to transplant them ten days after leaf fall each autumn. These two periods are both very critical times for chestnut saplings.

3. How are chestnut saplings cultivated?

1. Temperature

Chestnut saplings are suitable for growing in an environment with an annual average temperature of about 17 degrees. Winter temperatures must not be too low, as this will make the plants unable to withstand freezing and cause large-scale frost damage. During the flowering period, the temperature must not be higher than 27 degrees, as this will affect pollination. August and September each year are the season when chestnut sapling fruits enlarge, and the temperature level will directly affect fruit size.

2. Light

Chestnut saplings prefer sunlight more than rainy and overcast days. During the growth stage, sufficient light can allow them to grow vigorously. Chestnut saplings that receive less than six hours of light per day are very likely to have problems such as poor quality and loose flesh, so farmers are hoped to put more thought into considering the planting base.

That is all for today's summary of questions related to chestnut saplings. There are many farmers growing chestnuts, but very few can truly master this balance and ensure quality. We hope everyone will sum up experience often and become a large-scale chestnut grower as soon as possible.
