Where is the dawn redwood mainly distributed? A detailed explanation of the price for a 30-year-old tree and the planting season

The dawn redwood has strong adaptability, prefers moist conditions and grows fast, and is cultivated in all areas south of Beijing. Its wood is light and soft and can be used for construction, boards, papermaking and so on; its tree form is graceful, making it a garden ornamental tree. So where is the dawn redwood mainly distributed? What is the price of a 30-year-old tree? Which season is best for planting?

Geographical distribution

What is the price of a 30-year-old tree?

Dawn redwood price: first you need to understand the basic measurement methods for dawn redwood.

Dawn redwood measurement: there are two different purposes. 1: For timber such as (furniture and decoration), use a professional wooden cubic-measuring ruler to measure the cross-section; this is sold by cubic meter, e.g., what price per cubic meter. 2: For landscaping and afforestation, generally measure the meter diameter or breast height diameter (measured at one meter).

Dawn redwood price: 1: If it is the first type used for timber, it is generally divided into finished and semi-finished products, with prices between 800-1150 yuan.

2: If it is the price of dawn redwood for landscaping, meter diameter 3-4-5-6-7-8-cm; 4.5-7.5-10.5-25-40-70 yuan; breast height diameter 8-10 cm, height 8 m, 80 yuan; breast height diameter 10-13 cm, height 10 m, 100 yuan; breast height diameter 13-15 cm, height 12 m, 200 yuan;

The above prices are from a report of the national-level Dafeng Dawn Redwood Base in August 2007; specifically, there will be certain price fluctuations according to the market and the requirements for the dawn redwood.

Cultivation techniques

The planting season for dawn redwood can be from late autumn to early spring, generally best in late winter. Never plant in the severe cold when the soil is frozen or in the growing season (summer), otherwise the survival rate is extremely low. Seedlings should be dug and planted promptly to avoid excessive water loss. If they are transported over a long distance, the seedling roots should be soaked in water after arriving at the destination. Transplanting large seedlings must be done with a soil ball, digging large holes, applying sufficient base fertilizer, filling in fine soil and trampling it firm, and watering thoroughly after planting. During the vigorous growth period, topdressing is needed, generally once, and attention should be paid to loosening the soil and hoeing weeds.

Hoeing weeds and loosening soil

Hoeing weeds and loosening soil means removing weeds and vines, loosening the soil to enhance air permeability, improve physical and chemical properties, create a comfortable and good soil environment space, improve root vitality, promote robust and rapid growth, and lay a solid foundation for high yield and high efficiency of the dawn redwood. Hoe weeds and loosen the soil 2 times per year, and the tending effect is best in May-June and August-September, before the vigorous growth of the dawn redwood.

Moderate intercropping

In order to make full use of the open space in the forest, improve land utilization, improve soil structure and enhance soil fertility, legume crops or green manure can be appropriately intercropped within 1-2 years of afforestation. To avoid affecting the growth of the saplings, the intercropped crops should be kept 30-40 cm away from the saplings. Through cultivating, weeding and fertilizing the crops, it can both play the role of cultivating instead of tending and increase income, achieving the goal of using short-term returns to support long-term growth.

Moderate pruning

In order to maintain ventilation and light transmission and create good space for the robust growth of the trees, moderate pruning is carried out after the forest is established. It is best to choose the period after the dawn redwood sheds its leaves and before the Beginning of Spring. The pruning intensity is 1/4-1/3 of the total crown length, depending on the growth of the tree.
