Detailed Explanation of Key Cultivation Techniques for Taiwan Honey Jujube
I. Selection of the Orchard Site
Taiwan Honey Jujube has low soil requirements and can grow in acidic soil or soil with slightly higher salinity, but it is best planted in flat land or gentle slopes with a pH value of 5.5-6.5, sufficient water sources, and good drainage. When planted on mountain land, each plant can yield 7.5-10 kg of jujubes in the first year; when planted in rice fields or relatively fertile flat land, each plant can yield more than 30 kg.
II. Seedling Selection
Select grafted seedlings that are free of pests and diseases and free of mechanical damage. Standard seedlings should be of pure variety, with a moderately positioned graft union, a well-healed graft union, no tumor-like protrusions, and a trunk diameter above the graft union of more than 0.5 cm.
