There are quite a lot of varieties of Nanking cherry, one of which is called Chinese Nanking cherry. This is a narrow sense of Chinese Nanking cherry. In addition, we also call several kinds of Nanking cherry as Chinese Nanking cherry. According to historical records, China is the origin of Nanking cherry blossom, that is to say, there are quite a lot of Nanking cherry blossoms in China now, and most people don't know how to plant or how to raise them.

We need to pay close attention to the planting time of Nanking cherry blossom in China. Because the time is not right, the follow-up operation cannot be carried out perfectly. Generally speaking, spring is the cultivation time of most plants, so is Chinese Nanking cherry blossom. In addition, we can also plant in autumn and winter. In fact, autumn and winter are more suitable for Nanking cherry planting.

The soil is very important, so we should have a good grasp of acid and alkali. Generally, the pH of the soil we need is between 5.5 and 6.5. In addition, it should be fertile and well drained. If it is located in the north and the land is in alkaline state, we need to adjust it with some acid substances, and we need to measure it again every year. If you are in an acid environment, you can also use some commonly used alkaline substances such as alkali lime to adjust. In addition, if the underground water level is less than one meter, we need to level the land before we plant Nanking cherry blossom.

3. Water

The principle of watering is consistent with that of most plants. When the flower soil is dry, it should be watered with sufficient water.

4. Fertilization

Fertilization requires the use of base fertilizer, in addition, we also need topdressing, topdressing time is before and after flowering.

5. Trim

In addition to the three seasons in autumn, pruning is needed. In winter, crown pruning is generally needed. In spring, pruning is needed to cut off the unwanted branches and the dead branches and the branches damaged by pests.

6. Diseases and insect pests

It may cause diseases and insect pests, so we need to pay attention to it all the time, and use medicament to kill the insects if necessary.
