Pyracantha fortunei is an evergreen small tree with beautiful shape. It can be planted as an ornamental plant on the roadside or in the courtyard at home. Today, let's learn about the propagation methods of Pyracantha fortuneana.

Pyracantha fortunei can be propagated by practical seed sowing. Pyracantha will bear fruit in autumn, and the fruit of Pyracantha will generally mature in October. At this time, we can collect the seeds of Pyracantha, and the fruit of Pyracantha can stay on the tree until February of the next year when it matures in autumn. After picking off the fruit of Pyracantha, remove the pulp, clean the seeds, and then dry the seeds of Pyracantha. When it comes to sowing, we should first treat the seeds with two thousandths of the concentration of gibberellin, and then plant the seeds in the soil, covering about three centimeters of soil layer, and then water them to make the soil completely wet.

Cuttage Propagation

The fire buckthorn can also be propagated by cutting. If the cutting method is selected to propagate the fire buckthorn, it is better to carry out cutting from November to march of the next year. In this way, the survival rate of the cutting fire buckthorn can reach more than 90%. First, we select a Pyracantha tree that has been growing for two years, and cut a branch with a growth period of 1-2 years. The length of the cut branch can be kept at 12-15 cm, and the lower end of the branch is obliquely cut into the shape of a horse ear. Dig out a small pit about 10 cm on the land to be planted, plant the branches, the branches are about 2-5 cm above the ground, then fill in the soil, firm the ground, and then water it, and then keep the land moist all the time.
