How to propagate hawthorn, how many years does hawthorn bear fruit

1. Breeding Methods

1. Seeding propagation: The time for sowing can be chosen in spring. Prepare the mature seeds first, take them out and store them in moist sand, and then dig them out in the second year. Before planting, prepare a suitable substrate, which requires the soil to be loose and breathable, and also needs to add certain fertilizers. Sow the seeds evenly, not too densely, cover them with a thin layer of soil, make sure the temperature remains suitable, and provide reasonable sunlight, the seeds will germinate in about a month.

2. Grafting propagation: Grafting does not require much time. First, use sowing to cultivate seedlings, then cut hawthorn branches and graft them through bud grafting. Tie the interface with ropes or plastic bags, keep good ventilation, and they can be combined after a period of time.

3. Propagation by cuttings: Select a sturdy hawthorn plant, cut root branches from the bottom, about 15 cm in length, cut the bottom into 45 degrees, prepare a loose substrate, and then insert the branches into it. Ensure good maintenance and management, and it will take root in about 3 weeks.
