1. Soil preparation: Cinnamomum cassia is a deep-rooted tree species, and yellow loam with deep soil layer, loose texture and good drainage is the best. All land preparation should be ploughed and dried. After the topsoil is sun-dried, the ridge width is 1.2m, and the ditch width is 40cm. Clods should be broken and raked.

2. Seed treatment: In February and March, when the pericarp of cinnamon seeds is purple-black, it can be harvested in batches. The recovered fresh fruit should be washed in the pool to remove the peel and pulp, and then picked up to dry the surface moisture before sowing. Seeds should not be exposed to the sun and placed for too long.

3. Sowing method: One acre of land can sow about 50 kilograms, and the spacing between plants is about 6 cm. After sowing, the surface is covered with a thin layer of soil, and after watering, it is directly covered with Leymus chinensis.

Matters needing attention in planting cinnamon trees:

1, intertillage weeding: first, weeding before planting. The seedlings of Cinnamomum cassia are not very strong in viability and disease resistance, so weeds in the field pose a great threat to the survival of Cinnamomum cassia. Generally, intertillage weeding should be carried out about three times a year. Be careful when plowing, so as not to hurt the roots of cinnamon and affect its growth.

2. Pruning: With the growth of cinnamon, the plant will gradually become taller. In the process of planting, it is necessary to stabilize the tree shape and ensure the structure of the tree. Generally, pruning can be started after three years of planting, and then every other year.
