Albizia Julibrissin Planting Methods and Techniques

The reproduction of Albizia Julibrissin mainly relies on seed sowing. Spring and autumn are both suitable times for sowing. Before sowing, the seeds can be soaked in warm water at 35°C for 24 hours, and then sown in shallow pots, covered with 1 to 2 cm of soil. After sowing, give sufficient water through the potting method to keep the soil moist. In an environment of 15 to 20℃, it will germinate in about 7 to 10 days. When the seedlings grow to 5 cm in height, they can be transplanted into pots. When collecting seeds, you should choose mother plants with healthy growth and pick the mature pods in time during the fruiting period. Note that the pods will crack on their own after they mature.

There are a few things to keep in mind when planting Albizia albizzia:

Water and fertilizer management: Albizia albizzia prefers a dry environment and is not tolerant to waterlogging, so do not water it too much during maintenance to prevent root damage. The Albizia Julibrissin tree does not have high requirements for water and fertilizer conditions and can grow well even in areas with poor soil. In addition, the Albizia albizzia is sensitive to the environment and cannot tolerate noise and dust, so a suitable environment should be chosen when planting it.

Shaping and pruning: In order to ensure that the main trunk grows straight, the Albizia Julibrissin tree needs to be properly planted and pruned. During the seedling raising period, the side branches should be removed in time. For the seedlings with inclined main trunks, the trunk can be cut in the second year to promote the thick and upright growth of the main trunk. Transplanting of small seedlings should be done before germination, while large seedlings need to be transplanted with soil balls to ensure survival. When planting in greening projects, the side branches and leaves should be removed and only the main trunk should be retained.

Pest and disease control: Albizia albizzia may be threatened by canker disease. Once the disease is discovered, you can use 2000 to 3000 times diluted pentoclax, 800 to 1000 times diluted bicinchonix, or 800 times diluted 50% thiophanate-methyl for spraying treatment. For pests of longhorn beetles and psyllids, you can add 50 grams of 80% DDT EC to 1 kg of kerosene to kill the longhorn beetles, while for psyllids, you can use 25% cypermethrin diluted 1500 to 2000 times or 40% dimethoate EC diluted 1500 times for spraying.
