How to plant Paulownia trees and how to keep them alive

1. Choose good varieties

When planting, choose the variety according to the planting area. If planted in the southern region, choose white Paulownia or a hybrid with white Paulownia as the parent. If planted in northern regions, it is necessary to choose excellent varieties with strong adaptability and cold resistance.

2. Rooting and Seedling Cultivation

When raising seedlings, choose a plot that is sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, preferably sandy loam. First make a seedbed 15-20 cm high. Choose one or two year old seedling roots and bury them directly in the soil. In addition, attention should be paid to the spacing between rows and plants, which should preferably be one meter by one meter. It is best to add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer before burying the plants in the soil, and apply accelerated-effect fertilizer from June to August each year to promote faster growth.

3. Timely transplanting

When the seedlings grow up, they should be transplanted in time. The best time for transplanting is in spring when the climate is more suitable and the seedlings can adapt to the new environment more quickly and resume growth. Also, be careful not to damage the root system. You can leave the soil ball larger and plant it together.

4. Post-maintenance

If you want it to survive better, you must pay attention to the maintenance methods in the later stage. It is a sun-loving tree species and the seedlings should be exposed to the sun frequently. The seedlings require a lot of water during their growth period, so water them frequently to keep the soil moist. But pay attention to drainage during the rainy season and avoid stagnant water.
