When is the best time to plant an osmanthus tree? How to judge whether the osmanthus tree is alive?

1. Planting time

It can be planted in spring, autumn or winter, but the best time is spring and autumn, specifically after March and around October. Because the overall climate at these two times is more suitable and conducive to growth, it can increase the possibility of survival. In some areas, it can also be carried out in winter, but special attention must be paid to management methods to avoid frostbite.

2. Planting Method

When planting, you need to prepare loose, fertile and well-drained soil, preferably acidic. It is strictly forbidden to use alkaline or sticky soil. Otherwise, even if the plant survives, its growth in the later stage will be very weak and difficult to manage. After preparing the soil, dig a hole and put it in the soil. Fill in and compact the soil, and water it thoroughly as soon as possible, so that growth can resume in about a week.

3. Judgment method

It is easy for it to falsely survive, so wait a month after planting to see if it has survived. If you see that the new shoots are growing normally and the leaves are green at this time. And if you carefully dig into the bark and find that it is fresh, it means that it is really alive. If you observe that the new shoots have withered and the seedlings are wilting, it means that they have not survived and you need to treat them as soon as possible to see if they can still be saved.
