2. The base fertilizer must be sufficient, and generally we can also choose to use farmyard manure. To prevent the roots from rotting, we can choose to add some fresh lime powder to it. Finally, remember to cover it with soil to prevent water evaporation.

3. As for fertilizing Sichuan pepper, the method we usually adopt is to apply alkaline fertilizer in acidic soil, and apply acidic fertilizer in alkaline soil, so as to achieve a state of acid-base balance.

4. In winter, we can choose to mix lime powder with water into a paste and spread it on the tree trunk, thereby preventing attacks from cold air.

5. Pruning is also very important during the care of Sichuan pepper trees, and it is generally carried out in spring and autumn. Spring pruning is generally done around February, while the flower buds have not yet sprouted. Autumn pruning is generally done 7 days after the fruit is completely picked in October.
