Loquat is native to subtropical zone and needs high temperature. It can grow normally above the annual average temperature 12℃, slightly cold-tolerant, but not cold-tolerant, and grows slowly in low temperature areas. Area 8 and the southern area can be planted in the open air, and certain protective measures should be taken in case of extremely cold weather during the young tree period. The fruit quality will be better in areas where the flowering period and young fruit period are not lower than 0℃. At the same time, when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the growth will also slow down, so it is necessary to replenish water in time to avoid the leaves from being burnt. Potted plants should pay attention to replenish water in time in summer to keep the soil moist but not accumulate water. The roots of loquat trees are not resistant to water and humidity, so when cutting the land, drain the bottom to avoid root rot caused by accumulated water. Loose and breathable fertile soil with good drainage. Loquat has strong adaptability and does not require strict soil, but the soil with deep, loose, permeable, fertile and rich organic matter is suitable to avoid poor root growth and affect the growth of the whole plant when the soil is too strong.
The growth of loquat trees can't make it grow in vain, so we should do a good job in shaping and pruning loquat trees. On the one hand, to maintain the beauty of loquat trees, it is too high for loquat trees to pick fruits. On the other hand, it is necessary to expand the crown of loquat tree by pulling, bracing and hanging. The principle of pruning is to keep the canopy ventilated, and pruning can be started from the height of 50- 100 cm above the ground. Pruning is most suitable in early spring or in the vigorous growth period of loquat trees. In principle, new shoots should grow in different directions, and redundant branches, weak branches and dead branches can be directly pruned. Applying a certain amount of organic fertilizer in the germination stage; Before and after the fruit is ripe and harvested, apply a small amount of compound fertilizer, not too much, to avoid the fruit being greedy for green and late ripening; A small amount of flower and fruit fertilizer should be applied in the flower bud differentiation stage in August and the bud emergence stage in September. Pay attention to these four important fertilization periods, apply thin fertilizer frequently and don't overdo it.
