Do you need to cut all the leaves to plant camphor trees?

You don't need to cut all the leaves to plant camphor trees.

Planting time

Generally, it is planted from mid-March to mid-April, and spring buds will germinate. Replanting can be done in the rainy season. September is suitable for autumn.

Planting method

The depth, length and width of the planting pit should reach 50 ~ 60 cm. Planting depth should be equal to the root diameter of Cinnamomum camphora seedlings. When planting, the mulch soil should be closely connected with the hole soil, and the hanging space will be formed if the soil is not tight. Whether planting camphor trees on cloudy days or sunny days, you should water them thoroughly in time. In dry and exposed weather, it should be irrigated once every 7 days or so. 3 ~ 4 times in a row.

1 whole pruning of bare-rooted camphor tree seedlings

Before planting, the root system should be sorted out, and the main roots such as broken roots, withered roots, rotten roots and short roots without fine roots should be cut off, and the crown should also be trimmed. Generally, 1/3 ~ 1/2 of all branches and leaves should be cut off to greatly reduce the transpiration area of the crown. [2]

Pruning Cinnamomum camphora seedlings with soil balls

Seedlings with soil balls need not be pruned at the roots, but only at the crown. When pruning, the branches and leaves of the crown 1/3 ~ 1/2 can be cut off to greatly reduce the water loss of the whole tree, but the basic tree shape should be maintained to speed up the landscaping and achieve the greening effect as soon as possible.

Cinnamomum camphora has many short branches and strong continuous fruiting ability. As long as the tree is in a normal state, it will bloom in large numbers every year. However, if the amount of flowers is too large, the load is too heavy, and there is excess nutrition in the tree, it will also show the consequences of the years. Therefore, it is necessary to remove excess flowers and fruits in time. However, Cinnamomum camphora has a short flowering period and a small female organ. Therefore, in terms of consumption, it is not the flowers that have become thinner, but the fruits that have become thinner. But Cinnamomum camphora is tall, and it is difficult to dilute flowers and fruits. So some places try to dilute flowers and fruits with chemicals.

Special technical treatment: in the process of transplanting, in order to keep the humidity of camphor tree trunk and reduce the transpiration of bark water, the trunk should be wrapped with soaked straw rope until it reaches the top of the trunk, and if the branch is large, it should be wrapped. Then, the prepared clay mud is thickly covered on the trunk wrapped with straw rope. In the future, you can often spray water on the trunk with a sprayer to keep it moist. After the big camphor tree is dug out, it is necessary to trim the broken roots, broken roots and dead roots, and then soak the roots with clay mud after cutting; If 0.03% sodium acetate auxin is added to the mud, it can promote the growth of new roots of Cinnamomum camphora after transplanting.

Management and maintenance

Because camphor trees are planted out of season, it is necessary to strengthen maintenance and management after planting camphor trees. Pay attention to watering at ordinary times, and master the principle of "don't dry it, water it thoroughly"; It is also necessary to spray clean water on the ground and camphor leaves regularly to increase air humidity and reduce plant transpiration.
