1. Sowing and reproduction

2. Propagation by cuttings

There are two methods of propagating Belle Sakura, namely sowing and cutting. The sowing time is in spring and autumn. After the seeds are vernalized at low temperature, they are wrapped in wet paper towels to accelerate germination. When they turn white, they are spread in fertile soil and covered with fine soil. The cutting time is generally from May to June. Cut a section of branch as a cutting, insert it into a moist sand bed, provide appropriate shade and wait for rooting.

1. Sowing and propagation

1. Sowing time: Sakura cherry blossoms are usually sown in spring and autumn. The climate at this time is relatively warm, which is very conducive to seed rooting and the growth of seedlings. .
