After the fruit saplings are dug out of the nursery in the fall, if they are not planted immediately, they must be stored and planted in the early spring. The quality of winter storage of fruit saplings not only affects the survival rate, but also causes rot, water loss, and even death due to poor terrain, poor soil selection, or improper storage techniques.
The method of storing fruit trees and seedlings by means of a ditch method is simple, the human property is saved, and the storage effect is also very good. The experience of this kind of trench seedlings is now described as follows:
Storage ditch selection. To select high-lying, well-drained sandy soils and places where the water level is low and sunny, the soil structure must also be solid to prevent the collapse of the trenches. In order to facilitate transportation and occupy less land, the storage ditch can be located in the rows of nursery saplings. The excavated earth should be placed on the north side of the ditch and built into earth embankments to prevent winds. In general, the width of the ditch is 1.3 meters and the depth is 1.5 meters. The length can be determined by the number of trees and the size of the land. It is generally 25 meters long. The two sides of the ditch are slightly sloped. When digging the ditch, do not scoop out the soil and leave part of the soil for burying. After the ditch is dug, 15 cm thick wet sand is laid at the bottom of the ditch.
In order to maintain the purity of the fruit saplings, the seedlings should be prevented from mixing while digging seedlings, and the seedlings that are extremely weak, seriously injured, and severely diseased must be singled out. Debris branches and branches below 60 cm are cut off. Don't overweight your roots. Cut a big wound.
Storage of seedlings generally begins in early November. The saplings that have been trimmed are laid diagonally at one end of the ditch, with about 100 rows per row, and the interval between rows is 30 cm until they are almost full. The ends of the ditch should be filled with loose soil for seedlings. The gaps between different breeds and different grades should be larger, and the wooden signs written should be used for marking. Between the rows and between the plants, fill in loose soil. The soil thickness is 2/3 of the seedling height, and it is inconvenient to take the seedlings too thick. After the soil is buried, appropriate water will be poured according to the soil moisture.
After thawing in the spring, the seedlings will have a ditch. If the temperature rises after April, the fruit trees will sprout easily. To take seedlings late, if some of them have begun to sprout, you can use the ditch to make the seedlings delayed germination for 7-8 days. When you go out of the ditch, you must first dig out the soil filled at one end of the furrow, gently remove the soil from the roots and roots of each row of seedlings, and then gently pull out the seedlings. The saplings of the mountain stator are rootstocks that are very brittle and easy to break. Take care when pulling the seedlings.
