Seedling transfer

Hong Nan's bare-root seedlings are planted using the common planting method of "three mulching, two stepping, and one lifting", and the seedlings are strictly planted correctly, rooted, deep and tightly. If it is a container seedling, make sure the substrate in the container does not fall apart in the process of tearing open the container bag, and avoid the "mentioning seedling" process when planting. As the survival rate of bare root seedlings is low, it is best to use container seedlings for reforestation.

After planting, the seedlings of Hong Nan should be watered in time to ensure that the root system is in close contact with the soil to improve the survival rate of the plantation.

Pruning

In the first three years, the roots of the trees are cut to ensure the growth of the main trunk. The base of red heather seedlings like sprouting branches, easy to form multiple stem phenomenon, affecting the growth of the main trunk, to cultivate timber and gardening trees for the purpose of the first few years of afforestation to remove the base of the sprout and cut the secondary top of the main tip lateral to ensure the growth of the main tip, to accelerate the high growth of the main trunk.

Management

From the second year of planting to the time of lushness, it is done every year before the buds of red heather sprout. The plant should be fertilized with 0.25kg of compound fertilizer per plant in a trench around the canopy.

Young forests should be nurtured at the peak of growth and before the dry season. In the first year of planting, it is generally better to do not less than three times. After that, generally two or three times a year, and until the young forest began to lush, the forest weeds less, can be 1-2 years to remove the miscellaneous loosening once. The time of year for nurturing is April-June and October-November. In the first year of forestation in hilly areas to prevent the damage of sunburn, if you can plant crops in the forest, to cultivate instead of nurture is a more effective way to promote the growth of forest trees.
