Ligustrum lucidum, also known as ash tree, holly tree and wax tree, is a subtropical tree with dense branches and neat trees. It is a common ornamental tree species, which can be planted alone or in clusters in courtyards, street trees, hedges and so on. Moreover, Ligustrum lucidum has the functions of dust retention and smoke resistance, can absorb sulfur dioxide, adapts to factories, mines and urban greening, and is mostly used as a street tree. It is one of the evergreen broad-leaved trees in northern China. The following planting and maintenance measures can be taken:

1 First, plant Ligustrum lucidum:

Ligustrum lucidum can be planted all year round, but the best and most suitable planting time is from 5438+00 at the end of June to before freezing, and the survival rate of Ligustrum lucidum planted during this time period can reach 98%. When planting Ligustrum lucidum, soil balls should be brought, and the height of soil sealing after planting should be 5- 10 cm along the edge of the tree pit. After planting, the branches and leaves should be thinned in time to keep one third of the original crown.

Secondly, water and whitewash:

After planting Ligustrum lucidum, it can be watered with rooting powder or rooting liquid and compound organisms to make the roots of Ligustrum lucidum grow vigorously during the growth process, prevent the occurrence of root rot and lay a good foundation for the later growth. Water it twice after planting. Water immediately after the first planting so as to be thoroughly watered. Water frozen water once before overwintering. After the trees are planted, they are all whitened with whitening agent from the height of1.2-1.5m..

3. Fertilization:

Dig an annular ditch 50 cm away from the trunk, and then add farm manure or organic fertilizer. Because the demand for fertilizer in Ligustrum lucidum is not very large, the amount of fertilizer applied has no effect.

4 finishing and shaping:

Unwanted and larger side branches can be cut off several times, pests and dead branches should be cut off in time, and then wound healing ointment should be applied to the wound, which can prevent the occurrence of diseases at the wound, promote wound healing, prevent corrosion, prevent water and lose nutrients.

5. Pest control:

Because Ligustrum lucidum has strong adaptability, there are basically no pests and diseases, and scale insect harm will only occur if it grows too weak. At this time, the overwintering female insects and male pupae are brushed in cocoons on trunks and branches with brushes and tools, or ethylicin is sprayed.
