1. Soil: it's better to use fertile and well drained soil for the cultivation of Hickory. It's very afraid of waterlogging. If the soil is not well drained, it's likely to cause rotten roots due to ponding.
2. Illumination: it needs sufficient illumination and adequate ventilation. It can withstand half shade, but it can not grow in dark environment for a long time, which will lead to its poor growth.
Generally, the method of sowing or branching is used for propagation. Sowing in spring or autumn is OK. The temperature of 15-20 ℃ will be conducive to germination, and the growth will be more robust. It is suitable for group planting. Seeding in autumn requires low temperature vernalization. The germination temperature is 8-20 ℃, and the days of germination are about 12-20 days.
