Detailed Explanation of Key Techniques for Transplanting Large Suckling Pear Trees

1. Selection of trees for transplanting Any pear tree without serious pests or diseases can be transplanted, but practice has shown that selecting younger trees (under 20 years old), with lower trunks and relatively complete crowns, results in a higher survival rate.

2. Treatment of trees for transplanting Before transplanting, saw off diseased and pest-infested branches, branches positioned too high, excessively dense large branches at the base, and transitional branches between layers, while appropriately retaining lower scaffold branches, small branches under 2 years old, and branches in better positions. In September, root pruning should be carried out on the large trees to be transplanted, so that they form callus tissue, which helps survival.

3. Transplanting time Pear trees can be transplanted from after leaf fall to before the tree body sprouts the following year, but the most suitable period is from after leaf fall to before the soil freezes.

4. Transplanting method When digging up the large tree to be transplanted, retain as many scaffold roots and absorbing roots as possible. When transplanting, according to the planting plan, dig a large pit and apply sufficient base fertilizer (apply 20 to 30 kg of organic fertilizer and 2 to 3 kg of superphosphate per tree). After planting, irrigate and forcefully sway the trunk so that the root system stands in the watered thin mud. After the water infiltrates, seal the soil and secure it to ensure the root system absorbs enough water.
