The following information comes from the conversation between the flower shop uncle’s flower friends group on April 3, 2020. Thank you flower friends for sharing. Dialogue: [WXD]:@How to prune? Late summer memories: @wxd. Have you pruned in the winter? Take a look at the photos [wxd]:[wxd]:@ Memories of late summer. The teacher looks like this now [wxd]: Have you pruned it in winter? Forgot late summer memories: @wxd’s potted plants from a few years ago. Look at the shrinking shears on the branch above. But there are too many twigs at the bottom and need to be cut off. This will not only consume nutrients, but also make the plant look unsightly. The probability of flowering and fruiting is not high, so the top growth advantage must be ensured~[WXD]: Okay, it has been three or four years. wxd: How to fertilize hawthorn? How to fertilize this season? @半夜的Memories of the end of summer Memories of the end of summer: @wxd I have been raising him for 3 or 4 years. Have you never fertilized before? Hawthorn likes organic fertilizers, and fertilization is required during the growth period, flowering period, early fruit enlargement period, and after fruit picking, that is, all year round. You can dig a pit in the pot surface and bury it shallowly for top dressing. Commonly used organic fertilizers include chicken manure, sheep manure, and cake fertilizer. Of course, different proportions of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers can also be applied according to different growth needs in each season. For example, compound fertilizers with higher nitrogen content after fruit picking, higher phosphorus content during flowering and fruiting stages, and higher potassium content in winter can be top-dressed in spring ~ WXD: In the past, there was less fertilizer, so it was more difficult to grow. Now I know. Thank you teacher! wxd: The first fruit last year, the fruit was small and few. Memories of late summer: @wxd The age of hawthorn is not obvious. As long as the fertilizers keep up, the trees will grow stronger and the fruits will get bigger every year. Of course, this is a potted plant. It is also possible to thin the fruits appropriately and keep them small and dense, so that the proportion of fruit branches and leaves is reasonable, and it is impossible to plant them in the same place. After 3 or 4 years of cultivation, the small tree has produced very good results. Don't be harsh and don't forget to prune off the twigs at the bottom. If the branches in the inner chamber are too dense, cross, overlapping or parallel, they can be pruned so that all branches have good lighting and ventilation and reduce nutrition. Hawthorn Encyclopedia: Hawthorn, also known as hawthorn, belongs to the genus Crataegus and is a deciduous tree of the Rosaceae family. The height of the tree can reach 6m. Hawthorn is highly adaptable and likes a cool and humid environment. It is resistant to both cold and high temperatures and can grow between -36°C and 4°C. It can tolerate light and shade, and is generally distributed in barren hills, sunny slopes, semi-sunny slopes and valleys. The optimal slope is 15 to 25 degrees. Tolerant to drought, excessive water will cause branches and leaves to grow in vain. The soil requirements are not strict, but it grows well in slightly acidic sandy loam with deep soil, fertile texture, loose soil and good drainage.
