How to plant hawthorn

1. Site selection

Hawthorn has a strong ability to adapt to soil, but it grows better when planted in loose and fertile soil. And attention should be paid to convenient drainage, and there should be no accumulation of water during the growth period. In addition, it is best not to plant in winter, as the low temperature is not conducive to germination and the growth will also slow down. You can choose to plant in other seasons.

2. Land preparation

Before sowing, the land must be prepared and the soil turned over to a depth of about 15 to 20 centimeters. Then, it must be sprayed with disinfectant and exposed to the sun for about a month to kill all parasites and bacteria in the soil. Then add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer and mix it together, so that the nutrients will be more sufficient and beneficial to the growth of seedlings.

3. Planting

After the land is prepared, you can start planting. Dig a small hole in the soil surface, place the seedling in the middle, fill the hole with soil and press it down with your feet to prevent the seedling from tilting. After planting, add more soil to form a mound to prevent it from being blown down by strong winds.

4. Maintenance

After planting, water the plants in time and make sure the water is thorough so that the roots at the bottom can also get water. During the later maintenance, it is necessary to cultivate the soil and add nutrients to increase root growth and development. In addition, fertilization is required. Compound fertilizer should be used and not too single. The nutrition should be balanced, otherwise it will affect the growth rate.
