How to plant cypress, when and how to plant cypress

Cypress planting time is generally in February and March every year, prepare loose, breathable and well-drained sandy soil, put it outdoors in a sunny position, can promote the growth of branches and leaves, after the plant is dormant, to control water and stop fertilizer.

The cypress is an evergreen tree plant of the family Arborvitae, which is also known as Arborvitae orientalis and cypress. Cypress trees are highly adaptable, tolerant of barrenness, and able to grow in slightly acidic soils or slightly alkaline soils. Cypress trees love light, and during their growing season, they can be potted outdoors in a sunny place.

In a sunny environment, cypress trees are able to photosynthesize, accumulate nutrients, and benefit the growth of branches and leaves. Cypress seedlings are not tolerant of strong light, and during the summer months, shade is needed to protect the young trees from the scorching sun.

Features of cypresses

1. Appearance characteristics: cypress branchlets are flattened, leaf scales, monoecious, and the top of a single branch of the bulb. The cones are nearly ovate, the seeds are long and ovate, the cypress is densely branched, the twigs are thin and numerous, the branches and leaves are dense, and the crown is completely surrounded by branches and leaves, and the other side is not visible from one side, like a large dark green cone.

2. Habit characteristics of cypress: more cold-tolerant, less wind-resistant. Drought tolerant, moisture-loving, but not flood-tolerant. It is barren tolerant, can grow on slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soils, grows slowly, and has an extremely long lifespan.

3. Distribution characteristics of cypress: cypress belongs to gymnosperms, mainly distributed in the northern and southern hemispheres.

4. The value characteristics of cypress: although the taste of cypress leaves is bitter, it is rich in oil and has a special aromatic smell. If you feed rabbits with cypress leaves, you can achieve good results.

Cypress trees generally grow in shady mountains.

As an evergreen tree, cypress can be planted anywhere, it is a more common temperate plant in daily life, the form of cypress is diverse, it is green and upright all year round, it can be mainly used for garden greening, it is a very good wood material, and it also has a variety of effects such as grease harvesting.

Cypress is a common temperate plant, cypress seeds can be stored for 2 years, generally harvested in November, it is dried and stored, strictly protected from moisture, sown in spring, about 2 weeks after germination.

Precautions for planting cypresses:

The planting of cypress trees can absorb impurities in the air and purify the air, putting cypress trees on the balcony is beneficial to the health of the family, and the outdoor fortune of the home will also grow, its form of atmosphere, put it at home can make the family members get along with each other, and at the same time can also make the family's career and fortune rise.

It is not true that cypress trees planted in cemeteries may have a bad effect, and the use of cypress leaves in mourning halls is not that cypress trees are unlucky, but on the contrary, cypress trees symbolize eternity.

Cypress trees grow in a sunny environment, are drought tolerant, and love moisture, but are not resistant to flooding, so the environment in which they grow should not be too wet, and the plants can grow in slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soils.

The requirements of the growth environment of cypress trees are to have sufficient light, and the environment needs to be moist, the soil can be slightly acidic to slightly alkaline, and the temperature method needs to be careful not to be too low.

Cypress trees grow at different growth rates, usually growing faster in juvenile and juvenile stages, but growing slower in adulthood. If the cypress is transplanted as a seedling, if the seedling is 15 cm high, then it can grow about 30 cm in one year, and 40-50 cm in the next year.

Notes:

1. Cypress trees have a certain ability to resist drought, but they need water during the growth period with a faster growth rate, and they must be moisturized.

2. Although cypress trees are shade-tolerant, it is recommended to put them in the light during the growth period, and the sun can better carry out photosynthesis, accumulate more nutrients, and promote better growth. The light is strong in summer, so pay attention to proper shading treatment.

The growth environment of cypress trees:

Lighting:Cypress trees love light, but seedlings and young trees have a certain shade tolerance. It generally grows on the shady side of the mountain.

Temperature:Cypress trees are hardy and less resistant to wind.

Moisture:Cypress trees are drought tolerant and moisture-loving, but not flood-tolerant.

Soil:Cypress trees are barren tolerant and can grow on slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soils.

Planting management of cypress trees

The planting of cypress trees needs to focus on soil conditions, the choice of fertile and loose soil is the most suitable, and there is no strict requirement for acidity or alkaline, and it is also necessary to dig the specific consideration of the pit, according to the size of the soil ball of the cypress sapling to dig the pit preparation, but also pay attention to the depth, the depth of the pit is generally about 90 cm is more appropriate.

Pest and disease control of cypress

The diseases and pests of cypress are mainly Arborvitae caterpillars, wood-borers, etc., and the pests and diseases need to be captured manually in time, and the disease is serious and it is necessary to spray with appropriate pesticides, and the prevention of pests and diseases can be done by regularly loosening the soil and fertilizing the way to accelerate the rapid growth of cypress trees and enhance their disease resistance.

Cypress trees sometimes have yellowing, which is mainly caused by abiotic and abiotic factors caused by leaf blight (red leaves) disease and early yellowing, mainly due to the following reasons:

1. Insufficient soil moisture can not meet the needs of cypress growth and development, resulting in thin or wilted leaves and yellow tips, resulting in early defoliation. Or poor drainage, soil water, resulting in anaerobic respiration of roots for too long, accumulation of excessive alcohol, poisoning and rotten roots. or soil compaction, poor aeration, resulting in yellow leaves.

2. The planting is too dense, the ventilation and light transmission are poor, and the plants compete for fertilizer, water and shade, which affects photosynthesis and large respiratory consumption, resulting in yellowing of leaves and early defoliation.

3. Caused by improper field management. For example, the roots are injured when the seedlings are raised, the roots are nested when planting, and the animals bite the branches or artificially hurt the skin, resulting in yellow leaves. 1.The pathogenic fungus is mainly one species of Alternaria spp., which infects cypress trees and causes leaf blight.

4. Underground pests bite the bark of seedlings and are also easy to cause yellow leaves.

5. Yellowing and scorching of leaves caused by lack of fertilizer or unreasonable fertilization.

Cypress bonsai cultivation skills, the method must be found correctly.

1. Soil: When planting cypress, you need to choose soft, fertile and slightly acidic sandy loam. 2. Germination:

Soak the cypress seeds in warm water at 45 degrees for a day and a night. 3. Planting: Sprinkle cypress seeds evenly on the soil surface, and then cover with straw.

4. Maintenance: After the cypress seedlings emerge, it is necessary to apply urea or human feces 1-2 times.

1. Soil conditions

Cypress trees are suitable for growing in loose, breathable and fertile soil, when planting cypress trees, you need to choose a soft sandy loam or clay loam soil rich in organic matter, and then plough 30 cm of land to make it more breathable, and apply attached organic fertilizer to the soil to promote the vigorous growth of cypress trees.

2. Germination treatment

When planting cypress trees, you need to choose full and disease-free and fully mature seeds, and then soak them in warm water at 45 degrees for 24 hours to absorb enough water, and then put the cypress seeds into a basket, and control the ambient temperature at 25 to promote the rapid rooting and germination of cypress trees.

3. Planting method

Cypress trees are suitable for sowing in March and April in spring or August and September in autumn, when planting cypress trees, you need to spread their seeds evenly on the surface of the soil, water them again, keep the soil moist, and then cover them with a layer of plastic film or straw to improve the germination rate of cypress seeds.

4. Maintenance management

Cypress needs sufficient nutrients in the growth process, when breeding cypress, it is necessary to apply urea or human manure 1-2 times after the plant emerges, so that the growth rate of cypress is accelerated, and in the peak growth period of cypress, it is necessary to cut off the weak branches of the plant that are dry and yellow, so as not to lose excess nutrients.

If you want to grow cypress trees at home, the specific methods are:

1. Forest land selection: cypress has low soil requirements, and can grow normally in various types of organic rock or soil, but cypress is not resistant to water and humidity, and has little wind resistance, so it is not suitable for planting in low-lying land, mountain areas with wind outlets, and large wind speeds.

2. Afforestation density: cypress grows slowly in the first 100 years, the crown is narrow, the root distribution is also shallow, and the canopy closure time is very long, so the initial planting density is 5000 6000 hectares, and the later thinning is carried out according to the canopy closure.

3. Mixed tree species: cypress grows slowly, the canopy is narrow, and weeds are easy to breed in the woodland, in order to inhibit the growth of weeds, in the process of cypress afforestation, it is often mixed with tree species such as Pinus tabuliformis, Acer truncatum truncatum and Robinia pseudoacacia, or mixed with shrub species such as Acacia purpurea, sea buckthorn and Hu Zhizi.

4. Meticulous land preparation: cypress afforestation usually chooses arid and barren mountainous land, so the land preparation methods usually include fish scale pit land preparation, horizontal ditch land preparation, and horizontal step land preparation, and land preparation needs to be advanced for one season.

5. Afforestation technology: cypress afforestation can be selected in spring, rainy season or autumn, cold and dry in winter is not suitable for afforestation, commonly used sowing afforestation, seedling afforestation, container seedling afforestation, can also use large seedling afforestation, but large seedling afforestation needs to be transplanted many times.

6. Management and protection of young forests: Artificial weeding and chemical weeding can be used for young cypress forests, and soil and grass can be covered and whitened to prevent cold during wintering. At the same time, due to the slow growth of cypress trees and the narrow canopy, forest grain intercropping can be used to improve the land use value after planting.

1. Planting method: Planting cypress trees should choose seedlings with a height of less than meters, and then plant them in a fertile field, and insert wooden sticks to fix the main trunk after covering the soil. 2. Post-planting management:

One week after planting, water thoroughly, and remove the sticks after a month. 3. Pest control: regularly clean up the dead leaves and fallen leaves under the tree to avoid the breeding of pests and bacteria.

1. Planting method

To plant cypress trees, we should choose seedlings with a height of less than meters and healthy growth, and then dig a hole in a fertile and loose field with good drainage, plant the cypress seedlings in the soil hole, and then fill the hole with soil, bury the seedling root system deeply, and insert a wooden stick into the root to support the main trunk of the cypress tree in order to avoid lodging.

2. Post-planting management:

Just after planting, there is no need to water the cypress, wait for a week, you can water it once, so that the root system and the soil are fully in contact with each other, and in the later management, you only need to water after the soil is dry, and the wooden sticks inserted during planting should be removed after a month, which is conducive to the growth of the main trunk.

3. Pest control

Common pests and diseases of cypress trees are rotten to do arborvitae aphid, red spider, leaf blight, etc., resulting in the phenomenon of dead leaves and fallen leaves of the plant, poor growth, during the breeding period, it is necessary to regularly clean up the diseased leaves and dead leaves under the tree, destroy the breeding ground of bacteria and pests, and spray insecticides and fungicides in time after the disease, so that the cypress grows healthily.
