The way the tea breeds, no more luck
Last fall, neighbours zhang planted 200 oil and tea seedlings on the slopes of his home, which led to the passing of spring and the death of most of them. He was crouching on the ground and asking if i was a tree seed. I took the earth away, and it didn't grow. It's the breeding. It's a tree that looks like it's real. From seed to incubation, to marriage, there is a door to each and every form of oil tea. Today i'm going to break up all these years of crawling and scrambling, and i'm going to do this in real detail, hoping to help you lower your tuition fees。
Seed reproduction: the most traditional, but not the two pits
Seed breeding is the way to save money if you have wild oil and tea on hand, or if you want large-scale breeding. But the first step was wrong for many — the fruit was taken and buried directly. The oil and tea seeds have a post-cooking period, after which they will be harvested for a period of six months, before they become softened, the seeds brownened and dryed. I've tried, less than 40 percent of untreated seeds germinate, and more than 80 percent of treated seeds。
The seeding time is also well spent. Autumn is better than spring, as seeds can break hibernation by natural winter in the earth. Last november, i tested 30 pounds of seed in a nursery at depths of 3 cm and covered with straw to keep it wet. Last march, it was sprouts, full and unfilled. Remember, the nursery has to choose the well-drained sandy soil, the water is accumulated in a week and the roots are rotten。
Implant reproduction: save time, but grab the gold window
Seeds are too slow to reproduce, and it takes two to three years to grow up. If you fill dozens of them, or if you want to preserve the goodness of the tree, it is a better choice. The way in which tea is grown is the easiest to pick, but the clock is ticking。
The best time is between late may and the first half of june, when spring is half-wooded and the branches are the most well-fed. Choose a healthy branch for a year, cut it to 10 cm long, keep two leaves on top and make root powder on the bottom. I used to use pearl rock and peat to make the base, and then plug it in and pour it through, and put a small arch in the shade. Spray twice a day during the first week, keeping the leaves wet. About 25 days later, the new root came out. Last year i plugged 80, survived 67, with more than 80% survival。
There's a little detail: don't cut the horn too early. It's better to stick with it. Half-day, water loss, straight drops in survival。
Bridging reproduction: if you want to be productive, use it
If you seek early results and high yields, marriage is the way to go. Oil tea is usually grown from oil tea to sprout wood, which is taken from good parent trees. The most extreme example i've ever seen is the one with fruit in the second year of marriage, three years ahead of the seedlings。
The method of marriage i recommend is binding, simple, healing. The aluminum, which is 1 to 2 years old and has a diameter of 0. 8 cm or more, carries two full sprouts. It's not easy to smooth the cut and form layers. When tied, plastic bags were placed in the wet and placed under the sunnet. In two weeks, if the handle falls off, it means alive. Last year, i married 50 of my friends, and 46 of them survived, and this year has already begun。
Post-marriage management is crucial. If the buds on the logs are to be wiped out in time, the nutrients will be taken away. When the ear is up to 20 cm, the straps are untied, not too early, and the interface is vulnerable。
End
The breeding methods for oil tea are these three ways: seeds, adhesion, marriage. The choice depends on your purpose and condition. Seed breeding is suitable for large areas of seedlings, low cost but slow; piping is suitable for small-scale replanting and saves time; marriage is for quality and yield and is most worthwhile for investment. My own experience is that the rookies start with the tweezers, find their hands and then get married. The old oily tea trees in the woods are really reminding us that the vitality of plants lies in our respect for the details. Next time i'll plant the tea, don't rush to plant it, just keep it steady。
