How long is the growth cycle of elm?

Introduction to Elm Growth

Elm has a wide adaptability to soil and climate and is distributed in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Xinjiang, Tibet, Sichuan and other regions.

Elm growth cycle

Elm is a positive tree species, which likes light, is drought-resistant, cold-resistant and barren-resistant. It is suitable for planting on deep, fertile and well-drained alluvial soil. It is afraid of waterlogging, has a well-developed root system, and is resistant to wind and soil retention.

The growth cycle of elm is very long, and it usually takes 30-40 years to mature into timber.

Elm growth rate

Elm grows very slowly and can be sown or propagated by cuttings. If sown, the planting time will be longer, while if propagated by cuttings, the time will be shorter and it will sprout and take root soon. Just pay attention to the management of water and fertilizer in the later stage.

Elm growth cycle management

Temperature management: Elm likes warm and sunny environment and has a wide adaptability to temperature, but the winter temperature should be above 0 degrees to avoid frost damage and affect its growth.

Fertilization management: Except for rainy days during the growing season, apply thin organic fertilizer or cake fertilizer water once every 10-15 days, and use it with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. About 10 days before entering the room in winter, top dressing is required to improve its cold resistance and help it survive the winter smoothly.
