Cultivation techniques of juniper cypress:

The reproduction of juniper cypress is mainly through sowing and cutting. The amount of reproduction is very small. Secondly, cutting technology is difficult to learn. Compared with sowing, it is more expensive. There are many limiting factors, so planting is not recommended. The best sowing time is February, March, April, and late May. Each place is slightly different. For high-quality seeds, soak them in water for 24 hours. Next, take out the seeds and rub off the outer layer of fake skin. To prepare the seedling bed, the soil conditions must be loose, ventilated, and sandy soil to facilitate seedling planting and planting in the future. The mud should be leveled and crushed, and a small amount of fermented pig manure should be added. Next, spread the seeds evenly on the nursery bed, cover it with a layer of 1 cm thick sand, and then cover it with a thermal film. The seeds will germinate in about 10 to 13 days, and transplanted into separate plants in 19 to 23 days. A seedling can grow 1.6 to 1.9 meters in height and 1.5 centimeters in diameter in one year. The main root of juniper is thick and there are very few fibrous roots. Therefore, the roots need to be cut and transplanted in the second year to allow many roots to grow and cut to establish roots.

The growth period of juniper requires a lot of nutrients. It is believed that the annual growth of juniper is 3 cm. The juniper in our nursery grows to 10 cm in 2 years. Small saplings with a height of 1.2 meters can be planted at a distance of 2.3*3 meters. Top dressing ~3 times in spring and summer. Use 65kg of compound fertilizer per acre at a time. After top dressing, combine with watering. Juniper leaves fall earlier in autumn and in Mid-Autumn. Apply a small amount of top dressing. In the cold winter, spread on agricultural fertilizers such as pig manure, sheep manure, chicken manure, ~3.5 tons per acre, and the addition of agricultural fertilizer can also solve the problem of muddy land. Don't worry about applying too much top dressing, as it will not cause seedling burning. Just sprinkle water frequently.
