Can you grow winter dates in Guangxi Is Guangxi suitable for planting jujube trees?

*Guangxi can grow winter dates**. Winter jujube is a fruit tree with strong adaptability, fast growth, early fruiting, drought tolerance, barrenness tolerance and disease resistance. In Guilin, Guangxi, the climate is mild, the rainfall is abundant, the frost-free period is long, the sunshine is sufficient, the heat is abundant, the summer is long and the winter is short, the four seasons are distinct, and the rain and heat are basically the same season, the climatic conditions are very superior, which is very suitable for the growth of winter jujube.

In the cultivation of winter dates in Guangxi, special attention needs to be paid to fertilizer and water management and pruning management. In terms of fertilizer and water management, it is necessary to apply sufficient basal fertilizer before planting, and after planting, compound fertilizer should be applied according to the strength of the tree, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. In terms of pruning management, winter jujube has the habit of secondary growth, and the peak flowering period of winter jujube is about early June.

Therefore, when winter jujube is pruned in winter, except for some drooping and particularly flat and oblique branches, only the main branch of the jujube head is generally shortened, which can achieve the purpose of expanding the crown and early fruit yield. These jujube heads should be controlled during summer pruning, and 2 or 3 secondary branch stubs should be left for jujube heads with growth space, and only the base jujube hanging should be left for heavy topping if there is no growth space.

In general, Guangxi has good climatic conditions for growing winter jujubes, but to ensure the high yield and high quality of winter jujubes, careful fertilizer and water management and pruning management are also required.

In the Guangxi region of China, jujube trees can be planted; However, it is not suitable for planting jujube varieties in northern China. Jujube trees, generally according to geography, climate, soil and characteristics of jujube tree varieties, etc., are mainly divided into two major regions in the north and south, namely the northern cultivation area and the southern cultivation area. Guangxi, China, belongs to the southern hilly cultivation subregion.

This area refers to the hilly jujube area south of the Yangtze River in China, including Anhui, southern Jiangsu, Latong Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan. The yield in this area is relatively high, and the fruit is mainly processed for dates, which is a traditional date production area in China. The main varieties are:

Yiwu jujube, stove bureau Bima jujube, Xuancheng jian jujube, round jujube, Guanyang Yinju long jujube, etc.

Winter dates can be planted in greenhouses. Advantages of greenhouse winter jujube cultivation:

1. Early maturity and high output value: it can be listed 20-30 days in advance, which is 2-3 times the output value of open-field winter jujube.

2. High yield: The greenhouse winter jujube can artificially adjust the temperature and humidity during the flowering period to avoid the harm of green blind bugs during the flowering period, so that the fruit setting rate of the winter jujube can be greatly improved, and the plant yield can be as high as 20-25 kg.

3. Good quality: due to the long growth period of the greenhouse winter jujube fruit, the large temperature difference between day and night, and the accumulation of nutrients, it is large and sweet, with an average fruit of up to 20-25g, and the taste is significantly better than that of the open field winter jujube.

4. Avoid fruit cracking: The greenhouse film of winter jujube has the function of rainproof, which solves the problem of cracking fruit in the rain during the ripening period of winter jujube.

5. Pollution-free: The growth period of facility production can be staggered in the open field pest and disease season, with fewer pests and diseases, and the prevention and control is time-saving and labor-saving.

6. The cost is fast: the investment per mu is 3500-4500 yuan, and the cost can be recovered in the year when the tree buckle shed is in full fruit, and considerable profits can be obtained.

Soil requirements: Winter dates are suitable for planting in fertile soil and well-drained soil. Temperature Requirements:

The ambient temperature is kept at 14-25 degrees during the growing season. Sufficient light: Ensure no less than 8 hours of light time every day, sufficient light is conducive to increasing production.

Maintain moisture: Soil moisture is kept above 70% during flowering.

1. Soil requirements

Winter jujube has strong adaptability, mainly absorbs water and nutrients in the soil during the growth period, and is suitable for planting in the soil with fertile, loose and breathable, well-drained soil, the loose soil is conducive to the root growth of the plant, can better absorb nutrients, and let the fruit tree develop better.

2. Temperature conditions

Winter jujube is a temperature-loving fruit, although the fruit is ripe in winter, but it is mainly sown in the spring when the climate warms up, the temperature requirements are higher during the growth and development, the temperature is above 14 degrees after spring, the sown seeds will begin to germinate, and when the branch is pulled above 17 degrees, between 20-25 degrees is the vigorous growth period, and it is resistant to cold and high temperature.

3. Sufficient light

Winter jujube likes light, photosyndication effect is of great help to the growth of winter jujube, to maintain no less than 8 hours of light time every day, sufficient and reasonable light can help cell differentiation, can well accumulate tree nutrients, at the same time sufficient light can effectively improve the fruit setting rate of fruit trees, insufficient light time will reduce fruit set, and even affect root growth.

4. Maintain humidity

During the growth period of winter jujube, the demand for water increases, and the moisture of the soil is maintained, which is of great help to the pollination and fruit cultivation of fruit trees, and during the flowering period, the moisture of the soil should be kept above 70%, and the soil moisture is too low to affect the germination and pollination and fertilization of flowers, and the flowers will fall, and the fruit yield will decrease, so the soil moisture will affect the nutrient balance of fruit trees.
