When is the best time to plant cherry blossoms? A detailed explanation of planting times
When is the best time to plant cherry blossoms, and how do you plant them? Can they be grown from root or branch cuttings?
Reply: Cherry blossom propagation usually uses the high-grafting method or seed sowing: high grafting means wrapping the branch bark with a moisture-retaining material, waiting for roots to emerge, then cutting it off and planting it in soil; for seeds, first wash the flesh off the fruit, keeping only the seed, wrap it on damp cotton or a towel, and place it in the refrigerator to stratify; after about one month the seed will sprout. When transplanting, it is best to do so in winter; for seedlings on flat ground, pay attention in summer that the temperature is not too high. The branches of the cherry blossom grow slowly, so pruning is not necessary; even if you do prune, once a year is enough; cherry blossoms need a large amount of fertilizer, so fertilize more carefully.
