Green plum is a unique fruit in my country. It has been cultivated in my country for a long time. Common green plum varieties include green bamboo plum, white pink plum, and yellow plum. Because green plums have a unique taste, they also have the effects of detoxifying and nourishing the skin, removing acne and freckles, and lowering blood pressure and blood lipids. They are the favorite of many female friends and have extremely high economic value. So when is the best time to plant green plums? How to plant it? Let’s take a look at how to grow green plums.
1. Site selection and preparation
The growth habit of green plum is that it likes warmth and has strong cold tolerance, so the planting site is generally selected in soil and water bodies with sufficient sunshine. And a place where the air is not polluted, and the soil fertility should be relatively sufficient, with good drainage, good permeability, and relatively moist soil for planting. After selecting the land, you need to plow it deeply, dig the planting hole, sprinkle enough fertilizer in the planting hole, cover it with a layer of fine soil, and finally plant it.
2. Plant at the right time
The temperature suitable for the growth of green plums is between 12 and 23 degrees, so the suitable time for planting green plums is generally February and March every spring. , or in September and October in autumn, and at the same time, green plum trees need to be planted during the rainy season in July and August, so we need to decide the specific time of planting according to the specific conditions of the local climate.
3. Reasonable dense planting
The tree shape of green plum is relatively large, so generally only about forty to fifty-five trees can be planted per acre, and the planting density is The spacing between rows is about four meters, and the spacing between plants is about three to four meters, which is determined according to the fertility of the soil and the variety of green plum trees. At the same time, if the early fruit volume is increased in the future, then dense planting can be carried out appropriately. Use a density of four meters between rows and three meters between plants for colonization.
4. Fertilizer and water management
After planting, that is when there is a lot of rain in summer, the fields are often in a state of high temperature and humidity, so we must drain water in time to ensure To enhance the permeability of the soil, secondly, when the fruits are growing in spring, we need to water appropriately and be prepared to prevent frost. During the sapling period of green plum trees, we generally need to scientifically apply water-soluble fertilizers to leaves according to their growth conditions, such as nitrogen fertilizer, potash fertilizer, cake fertilizer, etc. The proportion must be adjusted reasonably. Adult fruit trees are generally fertilized in autumn, and then in Fertilize before flowering or when the fruit is strong, and finally before the rain in winter.
5. Pruning and shaping
We need to prune young fruit trees continuously before the tree shape is formed, so that it can grow better. Generally, we need to talk about some right things. Prune branches that are not in good light, as well as dry or messy branches to avoid affecting the beauty of the tree. Adult green plum trees generally need to be pruned with dead branches, dense branches, diseased branches, insect branches, weak branches, non-fruiting branches, etc. This can improve the light and allow it to grow new branches and leaves, and to a certain extent. Can increase production.
6. Pest and disease control
The main diseases of green plum include anthracnose, scab, gum disease, etc. These diseases are basically caused by high temperature and high humidity or low temperature and high humidity or even Caused by high temperature and low humidity, we can generally use carbendazim for prevention and control. The most common pests include aphids, heart-eating insects, beetles, scale insects, etc. We can usually use dimethoate milk to prevent poisoning.
