What are the latest taboos in prickly ash tree planting?

Prickly ash is a common seasoning, and prickly ash trees are now widely planted by everyone, but many people say they cannot grow prickly ash well, and that may be because they have forgotten some of the taboos of planting prickly ash trees. The management of prickly ash trees is mainly concentrated in the seedling stage; in other periods they can basically grow very well. Below, let us learn what taboos need attention.

1. Exposing seeds to blazing sun

Prickly ash seeds themselves are actually rather fragile, and their seed coat is also easily damaged, because it is relatively hard. Exposing them to blazing sun makes the outer shell of prickly ash seeds harder, ultimately leading to cracking. Even if they do not crack, the excessive heat inside reduces seed viability and may even kill them. Blazing sun exposure has little benefit for prickly ash seeds. If you want to sterilize them, you can consider drying them briefly in the morning, but never expose them to blazing sun.

2. Watering the seeds

Watering here refers to watering after the seeds are put into the soil, and this is also a taboo. Prickly ash seeds are small, and when they break through the shell they are easily pressed down by compacted soil and cannot come out. After watering, the soil above the seeds becomes compacted, and the surrounding soil also solidifies somewhat, which is unfavorable for prickly ash seeds to break through the shell. This situation often occurs: after watering, the soil and prickly ash seeds compact together, ultimately causing prickly ash seeds to only break the shell but fail to germinate, and then large numbers fail to sprout.

3. Waterlogging

Prickly ash trees fear waterlogging, because their root system has weak ability to bind to the soil and is easily washed away by water, exposing the roots. Second, waterlogging damages the growth of prickly ash trees, because they themselves tend toward a semi-arid living environment. Drainage ditches in the planting site can be dug a little deeper, or an mountainous environment can be chosen for planting, and the planting effect of prickly ash trees will be better this way.

4. No shading during the seedling stage

Prickly ash tree seedlings are also rather afraid of strong light during the seedling stage. Generally speaking, during this period, appropriate shading treatment should be carried out according to weather conditions. At this time, the seedlings are extremely easy to dry out under strong light, especially the leaves. Long-term exposure to blazing sun can cause seedling death. If not controlled, those that do not die will also suffer relatively great damage and will be harder to grow later. This taboo should also be noted.

Prickly ash trees are mainly fragile in the early seedling stage, and their vitality afterward is still very tenacious, so everyone does not need to worry about them dying easily. These taboos must be avoided by everyone, so as to prevent the prickly ash trees you grow from being unsatisfactory.
