How to plant pepper tree seeds

The seeds of the Chinese prickly ash tree mature around the Mid-Autumn Festival. When the skin turns purple-red, they are ripe and can be put in a cloth bag and stored in a ventilated place.

To sow the pepper tree, you need to pick the seeds in advance, wait until they are dry and then sow them directly. Then use the soil to remove the grease on the surface. The depth of row sowing should be controlled at about 10-15 cm, and then water it appropriately.

Pepper tree seed sowing time

The seeds of the Sichuan pepper tree are generally sown in spring and autumn, from February to May and from August to October respectively. The climate at this time is warm and the temperature is suitable, which is more suitable for seed germination and can allow the plant to grow better in the later stage.

How to plant pepper tree seeds

1. Choose the soil

When planting pepper tree seeds, it is best to choose loose, breathable sandy soil. Before planting, the soil needs to be loosened and turned over, and the weeds inside need to be removed. Then, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied, and drainage measures should be taken later.

2. Seed germination

Before planting peppercorns, they need to be germinated. Place them in alkaline water and soak them for about 3 days. Note that the water needs to be changed every day. Then take them out and dry them in the sun. After the shell cracks, you can sow them in the prepared soil.
