Ginkgo cutting time and method, can the ginkgo branches survive?

1. Cutting time

There are two types of ginkgo cuttings, one is hard branch cuttings and the other is soft branch cuttings. Hardbranch cuttings are usually carried out in spring. These branches are usually cut in late autumn and early winter, and after processing, they are stored outdoors, usually mixed in sand, and taken out and used in spring. Softwood cuttings should be carried out in July. Warm climate is more conducive to rooting, while too cold climate can easily cause frostbite.

2. Cutting selection

Cuttings for hardbranch cuttings are generally selected from the current year branches of young trees. If it is a large tree, the current year branches from the middle and lower parts should be used. Branches that are too old or too thick are not conducive to rooting. Generally, it should be cut into 25-30 cm lengths, 50 roots are bundled together, and the bottom is soaked in rooting powder solution. The young branches should be semi-lignified branches grown in the same year, with 2-3 buds on them, and the bottom also needs to be soaked in rooting water.

3. Take cuttings

Before cutting, you need to prepare the substrate. Generally, sandy soil is used as the seedbed, which is conducive to the growth of new roots. The soil should be disinfected before use to prevent infection of the cuttings. Insert the cuttings into the soil to a depth of one-third or one-half. For large-scale cuttings, it is generally necessary to maintain a row spacing of 25 cm and a plant spacing of 15 cm.

4. Subsequent maintenance

After completing the cuttings, pay attention to shading, especially for cuttings of tender branches. Because the light in July is strong, if there is no shade, the water will evaporate quickly, which is not conducive to rooting. In addition, the air should be kept moist, which can also reduce water loss. After it takes root, you can transplant it to another place, and the roots should be accompanied by the soil ball when transplanting.
