Artificial cultivation of Bird cherry is not difficult, artificial propagation of Bird cherry can be used in the method of seeding, as long as you understand the growth habit of Bird cherry, Bird cherry seeding survival rate can also be increased a lot. I will introduce you to the seed propagation of thick plum, like thick plum friends can learn together.
Bird cherry (details)
1, seed collection
Choose 20 ~ 30 years old, good dry shape, no pests and diseases of the mother tree, around early July when the drupe skin from the green to yellow collection in time, otherwise easy to be eaten by birds. Recovered fruit spread indoors after ripening for 4 to 5 days, to the skin soft, rubbing off the skin, rinsed, cooled indoors for 1 to 2 days, indoor sand storage. However, because of the hot season, improper storage of seeds is very easy to mould, to pick and sow as appropriate, the peel does not have to deal with. Seed rate of about 20% of the drupe, 1,000 grains weighing 50 grams, per kilogram has 22,000 seeds. Nursery germination rate of up to 65%.
2, seedling
Light-loving, cold-tolerant, shallow-rooted, in slightly acidic and neutral, calcareous soil can grow. It is advisable to choose loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam as a nursery. When preparing the ground, apply 1500 kg of rotted organic fertiliser per mu, 50 kg of phosphate fertiliser and 10 kg of urea. Strip sowing, strip spacing 20 ~ 25 cm, sowing at the end of February, 7.5 ~ 10 kg of seed per mu, after sowing cover wolf coat. When sown with the harvest, the seedlings can emerge in mid-March of the following year. To be most of the seedlings out of the ground, to uncover grass in a timely manner, uncovering grass too late easily caused by high feet, bent foot seedlings, affecting the seedlings.
July to August for the seedling growth period, after September gradually slow, late October topped off the leaves. The current year’s seedling height of 70 to 100 cm, ground diameter of 0.6 to 0.8 cm, the middle of the seedling above the purplish red, 1.5 to 20,000 seedlings per mu.
