Golden Silk Phoebe is a precious wood unique to our country, and it has now been rated as a national second-class protected plant of China. So what are the common varieties of Golden Silk Phoebe seeds? How do you carry out seedling cultivation? Friends who want to know will fully understand after reading the following!

I. Common varieties of Golden Silk Phoebe seeds

1. New Golden Silk Phoebe

This means newly harvested Phoebe material. This kind of material is also very rare now. Because the state's logging ban and protection are relatively strict, the quantity is very small, and it takes great risk to obtain it.

2. Bog wood

This is what people call ebony Golden Silk Phoebe. These bog Golden Silk Phoebe trees were mainly buried underground in the past or washed by floods into river channels, some even going through thousands of years of history. These bog Golden Silk Phoebe trees are mostly found in places such as Sichuan in our country.

3. Old Golden Silk Phoebe

This refers to old Golden Silk Phoebe material; it is not hard to understand that it is an old piece of Golden Silk Phoebe wood. The origins of these old materials can be said to be quite diverse. Some were even dismantled from old houses of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Others were obtained through channels such as large-scale demolition and relocation like that of the Three Gorges, and the Sichuan earthquake. Some were even obtained from imperial tombs, some with a history of over a thousand years.

II. How are Golden Silk Phoebe seeds cultivated into seedlings?

1. Collection and handling of seeds

The fruit maturity period of Golden Silk Phoebe is from mid-November to mid-December, so the best collection time is mid-to-late December. It is best to lay plastic film under healthy, mature Golden Silk Phoebe trees so that the ripe fruits fall naturally onto the film, and then collect the fruits. After the fruits are collected, they should be piled indoors; first spray a small amount of water on the fruits, then wrap and seal the fruits with plastic film. The sealing time should be just enough for the flesh of the Golden Silk Phoebe fruits to rot while the seeds remain intact.

2. Seedbed preparation

Choose a warm, humid inland area with fertile, loose soil and good drainage as the seedbed; 1-2 weeks before sowing, weeds should first be cleared from the seedbed, then the soil should be deeply plowed twice. After the first deep plowing, apply base fertilizer; after the second deep plowing, use a 50-fold dilution of 40wt% formaldehyde or a 0.1-0.3wt% potassium permanganate solution for disinfection. The amount of base fertilizer applied is 2300-2600kg per mu.

3. Sowing

At the end of April and the beginning of May of the second year, use the running water washing method to separate the seeds from the river sand, then disinfect the seeds with a 0.5wt% potassium permanganate solution for 30 minutes, and then treat the seeds intermittently with 50°C warm water for 3 days. This can make the seedlings emerge uniformly and can advance emergence by about 10 days. When sowing, use the drill sowing method. On the already prepared seedbed, sow at a row spacing of about 20cm, a furrow depth of about 5cm, and a plant spacing of about 5cm, with a soil cover thickness of 1-2cm. During implementation, the dibbling method can also be used for sowing. After covering with soil, water thoroughly once, then cover with plastic film, and build a shade shed to preserve warmth and moisture. When the seedbed is about to dry, water it in time, and do not water too much at once; it is best to water until the seedbed is moist but without standing water. In this way, seedlings will emerge one after another after about one month. The emergence period is about 18 days, and the emergence rate can reach over 90%. At this time, the grass cover should also be removed in time and the soil loosened.

4. Seedbed management

Carry out the first transplanting when the seedlings have grown 3-4 true leaves and the plant height is about 5cm. About 1 week before transplanting, the plastic film should be opened at night and covered again in the morning, so that the seedlings adapt to the external environment and the survival rate is improved. For the first transplanting, the seedlings can be transplanted into seedling trays. The seedling trays should be placed under a shade net, with centralized water and fertilizer management, ensuring the bottom tray remains moist. After 15 days, a small amount of fertilizer can be applied, and during this period attention should be paid to pest and disease prevention. If there are borers, omethoate at a 1000-1500 fold dilution can be sprayed. After about two months, the second transplanting can be carried out. The transplanting bed should be chosen from fields with relatively good fertility. About 1 week after the second transplanting, water should be controlled for the small seedlings. After the third transplanting, when the plant height reaches 1.5m, some fibrous roots can be cut off to promote the growth of lateral roots and further increase the survival rate.

From the above, we can know that Golden Silk Phoebe is already a key protected plant of the state, so its value can be said to be quite good.
