The cutting propagation method of persimmon tree

1. Cutting time

1. Cutting time

Persimmon trees can be propagated by cuttings, but it is difficult to survive, so the choice of time is more important. Choose it in the spring from the end of March to the beginning of April. The climate is suitable during this period, which is just right. It is the period of germination of all things, which is conducive to rooting and germination after cutting, and the survival rate will be higher.

2. Branch selection

Selection For good-quality trees, cut annual or biennial healthy branches from the top and cut them from the bottom. Keep the cut in an oblique triangle shape. This way, the area in contact with the substrate is large and more nutrients are absorbed, which is conducive to rooting. Leave leaves at the upper end, preferably with buds, and remove the lower leaves to prevent them from being buried in the soil and causing rot.

3. Prepare the substrate

For The main requirements for the substrate are breathability, drainage, and permeability. You can use clean perlite or plain sand, and add nutrient soil in it, so that the preparation will not produce water accumulation.

4. Make cuttings

Dip the branches into rooting powder, then insert them diagonally into the soil, and water them thoroughly to keep them moist and promote rooting. After completion, place it in an astigmatism environment, avoid exposure to strong sunlight, and spray water regularly with a small watering can to maintain the surrounding temperature at around 15-20°C.
