Where is the main production area of the Chinese wingnut tree? 8-10 cm prices and planting methods

Chinese wingnut tree, a tall deciduous tree, tolerant of water and cold, is an excellent garden plant. So, where is the main production area of the Chinese wingnut tree? How much is the market price for 8-10 cm generally? How to plant it?

1. Where is the main production area of the Chinese wingnut tree?

The Chinese wingnut is widely distributed across North China, Central China, South China and Southwest China, and is most common in the Yangtze River basin and the Huai River basin; it is also distributed on the Korean Peninsula. It is a tree species native to China. It has a history of cultivation and use of several hundred years, and is now widely distributed across North China and South China, most commonly along the banks of rivers and streams.

2. How much is the market price for 8-10 cm generally?

It is understood that the price of Chinese wingnut trees of 8-10 cm is generally around 70-150 yuan. The real-time sapling price of the Chinese wingnut tree fluctuates up or down according to factors such as the time and season, market conditions, the size of the root ball, and the quality grade; please refer to the actual situation when purchasing.

3. How to plant the Chinese wingnut tree?

1. Land preparation: Although the Chinese wingnut has a relatively strong ability to adapt, in the process of raising seedlings and propagating it is still necessary to choose a suitable growing environment and an area with deep, fertile soil for cultivation. First, the soil should be deeply plowed 20-30 cm and finely harrowed, turning the subsoil up to the surface layer and then watering the base water. Then add phoxim granules to fine soil, stir evenly and spread it in the nursery to reduce seed damage caused by underground pests. Then apply decomposed manure, farmyard manure, organic fertilizer, etc. to improve the soil's planting environment. After piling, sealing and weathering for a period, the soil can be used.

2. Seed collection: The Chinese wingnut is propagated by seed; select mother trees 10-20 years old, with straight trunks, good development and no pests or diseases, from which to collect seeds. After the fruit ripens, pick the fruit clusters or sweep them up after they fall to the ground. After the seeds are collected, they can be sown the same year, or the wings can be removed and the seeds dried and stored in bags or mixed with sand for storage until sowing in the following spring.

3. Seed sowing: The Chinese wingnut is best sown in autumn, but can also be sown in spring. For spring sowing, first soak the seeds in warm water at 60-80 degrees C, then after cooling change to clean water and soak for 1-2 days, then sow in rows with a row spacing of 20-25 cm, at a sowing rate of 8-10 kg per mu. After germination, when the seedlings reach 10-15 cm, thin them out, and do a good job of weeding and loosening the soil, drainage and irrigation, fertilization and pest and disease control. The seedling yield per mu is 8,000-15,000 plants; when the seedlings are 1.5-2 m tall and 1-2 cm in ground diameter, they can be lifted from the nursery for planting.

4. Planting techniques: The planting holes for the Chinese wingnut are 40-50 cm deep and in diameter, with a hole spacing of 3-4 m. In order to cultivate straight, tall, good timber, the density should be relatively high when planting in stands, to suppress the growth of side branches, and after the canopy closes, thinning can be carried out in stages. Whether planting in spring or winter, deep planting, spreading the roots, and firming the soil are required. When planting seedlings, care should be taken to prevent tip dieback, a phenomenon especially common when planting in winter. Therefore, when planting in winter, it is advisable to cut back the trunk after planting, or to cut back the trunk first and then plant. The cutting height is 10-15 cm, and the cut must be smooth and must not be torn.

5. Water and fertilizer management: The Chinese wingnut grows relatively slowly in its young stage, and sufficient fertilizer can accelerate plant growth. Generally speaking, when planting, dried chicken manure or decomposed and fermented cattle and horse manure can be applied as base fertilizer; the base fertilizer must be fully mixed with the planting soil. In June or July of the planting year, apply a compound fertilizer of the three elements once as a top dressing, which can promote the plant to grow branches and leaves and expand its nutrient area. In late autumn, in combination with watering the freezing water, apply semi-decomposed cattle and horse manure once; this fertilizer can be applied shallowly or directly scattered on the tree plate. After sprouting in the following spring, apply urea once as a top dressing; in early summer apply a phosphorus-potassium fertilizer once as a top dressing; in late autumn apply organic fertilizer according to the method of the first year. From the 3rd year on, it is only necessary to apply farmyard manure once each year in late autumn, but the amount should be greater than in the first two years. Fertilizing in this way can help improve the plant's growth.
