What should be noted when planting jujube trees in autumn? Please advise.The main points to note when planting jujube trees in autumn are as follows for reference:
Key points for lifting seedlings:Try to avoid damaging the root system when lifting seedlings. To make planting easier, the main root can be trimmed slightly after lifting the seedlings, which helps the seedlings absorb water and can increase the survival rate. When lifting and transporting seedlings, tie 50-100 plants into a bundle, wrap them well with plastic film, tie them firmly, and then transport them.
Key points for digging holes:Dig tree holes 50-60 cm square so that the seedling roots can spread out fully in the hole. When digging the hole, place the topsoil and subsoil separately, and then put the topsoil into the bottom of the hole.
Key points for fertilizing:After digging the tree hole, apply 5 kg of high-quality organic fertilizer in the bottom layer. Alternatively, mix the dug-out subsoil with 20 kg of organic fertilizer and fill it into the hole when planting the seedling.
Key points for soaking the roots:Before planting the seedling, soak the roots of the sapling in a solution of phosphate fertilizer plus rooting powder for 20 minutes, or dip them in phosphate fertilizer solution and plant immediately. The sapling's damaged roots will not only heal quickly but also tend to develop roots easily.
Key points for planting the seedling:The sapling should be planted in the center of the tree hole. When filling with soil, put the fertile topsoil around the root zone and place the subsoil in the upper layer. The soil should be filled in layers, tamping each layer as it is added. The burial depth should be 3-5 cm deeper than the original soil mark from when the sapling grew in the nursery. While planting, shake the sapling as you fill the soil so that the root system spreads fully and fits tightly with the soil.
Key points for watering:After the seedling roots are fixed, water heavily, then tidy the tree basin and build it into a round mound to help with wind protection and moisture conservation.
Key points for mulching with film:Covering the tree basin of the planted jujube tree with plastic film can conserve moisture, help the seedlings overwinter safely, and result in a high survival rate for jujube seedlings.
Key points for cold protection:Jujube seedlings have thin bark and low water content, and water evaporates easily. Methods such as film mulching and wrapping can be used for cold protection, and burying with soil can also be used for cold protection, improving the survival rate of jujube seedlings. First, build a 30 cm high soil mound at the base of the seedling to fix the seedling, then build up soil 25 cm high in the direction the seedling is bent over. After softening the base of the seedling, gently press it down onto the soil mound, then cover the branches with 20 cm thick moist fine soil to prevent "dead bends." Jujube trees only begin to sprout when the spring temperature reaches 13-15°C, so the time for removing the cold-protection soil should be appropriately later, minimizing the time the seedling is exposed before budding, and the soil should be removed only after the sapling sprouts.
