Where is the best place to plant Sophora japonica?

Sophora japonica tree planting area

Sophora japonica trees are native to the northern region of my country, with a wide range of origin. They are cultivated from the northeast to the south, and to south and southwest China. They are most common in the Loess Plateau and North China.

Sophora japonica trees like sunshine and have low requirements for the growing environment. They can be cultivated in both the north and the south. The famous areas in my country for cultivating Sophora japonica trees include Jingchuan in Pingliang, Gansu, Wuzhong City in Ningxia, Xuchang in Henan, and Hongdong County in Shanxi.

Sophora japonica planting conditions

The planting temperature of locust trees should be maintained at at least 10 degrees. If the temperature can reach around 20 degrees, it is the most ideal sowing environment. After growing up, it is relatively cold-resistant and the temperature can be kept at around 9-17 degrees.

Key points for planting and managing Sophora japonica

1. Cultivation method

After purchasing the seeds, you can germinate them first by stirring them with hot water and then soaking them in warm water, or you can directly treat them with gibberellin. Both germination methods are relatively effective.

2. Transplanting requirements

You can raise seedlings first and then transplant them. Seedlings of different sizes have different spacing when sowing. You can cover them with film when raising seedlings, but when the seedlings grow to about 3 centimeters, you should start to remove the film.

4. Pest and disease prevention

When the seedlings grow to 15 cm, you can start thinning them out; when transplanting, it is best to do it in spring and summer, carefully protect the roots of the Sophora japonica, and be prepared to prevent diseases and pests.
