Now is the critical period of Camellia oleifera planting. As the "Hometown of Camellia oleifera in China", we county has a strong atmosphere for the development of Camellia oleifera industry. Rows of newly planted Camellia oleifera trees have added new vitality to the mountains and forests. So, what should be paid attention to when planting camellia oleifera?
During this time, it was the time for afforestation, and the people in You County began to plant oil tea trees. Don't look at a small camellia tree and think that digging a hole and filling it with soil will be the end of the job. There are so many ways of doing this, so let’s learn about it today.
Before the planting of Camellia oleifera, selection of species and location are the key. Fine varieties have large fruit and strong resistance to diseases and insect pests. The acidic soil is also more conducive to the growth of Camellia oleifera seedlings. In addition to these "hardware" requirements, planting techniques are also very particular.
Feng Zongyi, general manager of Hunan Yamei Camellia Oil Co., Ltd.: "Our planting pits should not be too big now, just a little bit larger than ordinary soil balls. There are about 50 to 70 plants per mu, and the spacing is about 3m*3m or 3m* 3.5m, so as to ensure that each camellia tree has enough space to grow.”
Of course, for a camellia tree to bear fruit, in addition to careful planting, follow-up careful management is also inseparable.
Feng Zongyi, general manager of Hunan Yamei Camellia Oil Co., Ltd.: "After planting, the first thing to do is to ensure its survival rate. For our new afforestation, we will plan the integration of water and fertilizer. After it survives, it will take about 5-7 years for it to bear fruit. ”
