Chinese name:Osmanthus

Scientific name:Osmanthus fragrans

Alternative names:Sweet olive, muxi, muxi

Family:Oleaceae

Genus:Osmanthus

Origin and distribution:Osmanthus is native to southwestern China, with wild plants found in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and Hubei, among other places; a wild community is distributed in Zhouluo, Liuyang, Hunan; it is also found in India, Nepal and Cambodia.

Morphological characteristics:Evergreen shrub or small tree; leaves opposite, mostly elliptical or oblong-elliptical, with smooth surfaces, leathery, and serrated margins; it blooms in autumn, with flowers clustered in the leaf axils, the corolla split to the base and ranging from creamy white to yellow to orange-red, extremely fragrant; the drupe turns purplish black when ripe.

Osmanthus Growth Habits
——————————————————————————————————————————————

Osmanthus prefers warmth and grows best in well-drained, deep, loose, fertile, humus-rich, slightly acidic sandy soil. It is not tolerant of drought or barren conditions; in poor soil it grows sparse branches and leaves, with yellowing foliage and few flowers, and in severe cases the entire osmanthus plant dies. Young trees need some shade, while mature plants require relatively abundant light.

▲ Potting: Cloudy and rainy days in spring and autumn are the best time to plant osmanthus trees. Choose a warm location with good ventilation and drainage. Slightly acidic soil is required for planting. The potting soil mix for container-grown osmanthus is: 2 parts leaf mold, 3 parts sandy soil, 3 parts garden soil, 2 parts decomposed cake fertilizer, mixed evenly before potting or repotting.

▲ Light and temperature: In winter, move potted osmanthus indoors to a sunny spot, letting it receive full direct light, and keep the room temperature above 5°C but not exceeding 10°C. In April of the following year, after the osmanthus tree sprouts, move it outdoors, first placing it in a wind-sheltered, sunny spot, and after stable growth gradually move it to a well-ventilated, sunny or semi-shaded environment.

▲ Water and fertilizer: Keep the soil moist before new shoots emerge, and do not water with fertilizer solution. Generally, apply nitrogen fertilizer once in spring and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once in summer to promote abundant flowers and lush foliage; apply overwintering organic fertilizer once before winter, mainly decomposed cake fertilizer and barnyard manure. Avoid heavy fertilizer, especially human waste. For potted osmanthus in northern winters, water less; after moving outdoors in April, increase water appropriately, and during the peak growing season apply a suitable amount of dilute fertilizer solution; during the flowering season the fertilizer solution can be slightly more concentrated.

▲ Shaping: Establish the main framework according to the tree's form, and remove other suckers, water sprouts, overly dense branches, diseased and weak branches, and crossing branches. For trees that are strong on top and weak below, shorten the upper branches by 1/3, and at the same time apply wound-healing antiseptic film to the pruning cuts to protect the wounds, so that the overall tree vigor becomes strong and healthy.

" Conclusion:Osmanthus is a plant very well suited to cultivation by people; planted in a courtyard, it not only removes odors but also carries excellent feng shui symbolism. Whenever a breeze blows past, fragrance fills the room, and your mood will naturally and imperceptibly become much better. Small osmanthus trees can also be grown in pots.

Osmanthus

Osmanthus Tree Cultivation Techniques

First, planting season: osmanthus is generally planted in spring or autumn, and it is even better to choose a cloudy or rainy day. It should be planted in a warm place with good ventilation and drainage. After planting, be sure to water thoroughly, and it needs a certain amount of light. If it is only being transplanted, be sure to prepare a good soil ball.
Second, soil: osmanthus trees require slightly acidic soil, and alkaline soil must be avoided; if growing osmanthus trees in pots, it is recommended to mix soil at a ratio of leaf mold : garden soil : sandy soil : decomposed cake fertilizer = 2:3:3:2, then pot it, with spring being the best season.

Osmanthus Tree Seed Cultivation Techniques

Sowing osmanthus tree seeds generally uses the drill method, specifically as follows:
a. First make horizontal or vertical furrows on the seedbed, with a furrow width of 12cm and a depth of 3cm;
b. Sow 1 pre-germinated seed every 6-8cm in the furrow; generally one mu of land can plant 30000 plants.
c. When sowing, place the seed hilum to the side to prevent the radicle and young stem from bending, which would affect seedling growth.

When Does Osmanthus Generally Bloom

When does osmanthus generally bloom? Osmanthus is divided into four-season osmanthus and August osmanthus; the former blooms four times a year while the latter blooms in August, but August osmanthus is more precious than four-season osmanthus.

Reasons Why Osmanthus Trees Do Not Bloom

First, insufficient light. Osmanthus has high light requirements; if there is insufficient light, flower buds are difficult to form. Only when planted in a sunny, well-ventilated place where it can fully receive light can it bloom normally. If shaded for a long time, branches and leaves tend to grow excessively, affecting flower bud formation. This is very common in urban residential areas, because tall buildings stand in clusters and light is insufficient.
Second, air pollution. If air pollution is too severe, it can also cause failure to bloom, accompanied by other symptoms such as leaves growing smaller and smaller and tending to fall off.

Osmanthus Pests and Diseases

Osmanthus pests and diseases: 1. Scale insects. The scale insects harming osmanthus include red wax scale, Chaff scale, cottony cushion scale, and others. The nymphs and adults of scale insects insert their mouthparts into the tissues of the host plant to suck sap, causing branches and leaves to wither and die. At the same time, most scale insects can secrete honeydew, inducing sooty mold, causing serious damage.
Osmanthus pests and diseases: 2. Psyllids. Adults and nymphs suck the sap of buds, leaves and tender shoots; affected leaves develop brown dead spots, and in severe cases the entire leaf turns brown, causing early defoliation. Nymphs secrete large amounts of honeydew on the leaves, inducing sooty mold.
