How to Plant Glossy Privet Fruit? A Detailed Guide to the Latest Planting Methods
Glossy privet fruit is the name of a medicinal herb, also known as Chinese privet fruit or wax tree. It has relatively high medicinal value and excellent nourishing effects, and it also has the effect of nourishing the liver and improving eyesight. At present, most glossy privet fruit is planted in parks, because its tree shape is also very lovely, and its ornamental value is also very good. So how do you plant a glossy privet tree? Follow along with the editor below to learn about it.
1. Soil and Fertilizer Improvement
Glossy privet fruit likes sunlight and warmth, and has a certain degree of cold resistance. According to these growth habits of glossy privet fruit, the planting site is generally chosen as sunny sandy loam with good drainage and irrigation, sufficient soil fertility, rich organic matter, deep soil layers, and a well-developed soil structure. It is best to plow and prepare the land in autumn, turning the soil at least about 30 cm deep, then spread sufficient fertilizer, turn it again, and break the soil clods into fine, level soil, and make beds about 1 m wide and 10 cm high.
2. Breeding and Transplanting
The glossy privet fruit seeds bought back are basically already treated, so they can be sown directly. But there are still many seeds that are self-retained, so before sowing they need to be soaked in warm water, then placed at a suitable temperature for germination. When most of the sprouting points have emerged, they can be sown. Sowing generally uses direct sowing or row sowing, with a spacing of about 10 cm per plant. When the seedlings grow to about 30 cm, they can be transplanted. First, dig holes in the field with a spacing of about 3.5 to 4 m, then spread base fertilizer into the holes, and finally cover with soil for planting.

After planting, we should water reasonably. Generally, about one week after planting, if there is no rainfall, watering is needed. Never water before rain, as this will reduce the survival rate of glossy privet fruit. When the aboveground height of the planted seedlings is about 15 cm, the first intertillage and weeding should be carried out, and it should be done together with fertilization. In the subsequent growth process, intertillage and weeding need to be carried out at least two to three times each year, and fertilization needs to be carried out at least twice each year. Fertilization is mainly based on organic fertilizer, reducing the use of chemical fertilizer as much as possible. Finally, after the young trees have grown for two years, scientific pruning of branches and leaves is needed to ensure the tree shape and regulate the field ventilation and light penetration.
4. Pest and Disease Control
The resistance of glossy privet fruit is actually relatively strong, but there will still be some damage from pests and diseases. For example, rust disease, privet geometrid, wax scale insect, and cloud-banded longhorn beetle. We can use carboxin emulsifiable concentrate, trichlorfon, phosmet emulsifiable concentrate, and fenitrothion emulsifiable concentrate respectively for control and spraying.
