Key points of planting and management of black plum

1. Garden construction: It is suitable for planting in hills, slopes and terraces with high terrain, good drainage, low groundwater level and good water and fertilizer retention.

2. Scientific planting: Black plum is generally planted in March every year. Of course, it can also be planted when the leaves fall in autumn, but the survival rate will be higher if planted in spring.

3. Fertilizer and water management: During the growth period of black plum trees, we apply fertilizer according to the principle of frequent and thin fertilizers. Each time we apply fertilizer, we must combine it with watering, and carry out reasonable inter-row cultivation and weeding. During this period, we mainly use manure and urine water to promote the growth of young trees. At the same time, we need to use urea reasonably, and apply top dressing at least five or six times a year.
