Cultivation techniques of hawthorn;
Select the nursery site:
Choose flat land, hills and gentle slopes with deep and fertile soil layers, the southeast slope is the most suitable, followed by the north slope and northeast slope. Attention should be paid to water storage, irrigation and drainage, and drought prevention.
The seedlings cultivated with hawthorn seeds are called rootstock seedlings. Generally, the seedlings of rootstocks need to be grafted into hawthorn for cultivation. Hawthorn seed shell is thick and hard, and the seed is not easy to absorb water, swell or crack. In addition, the seed kernel has a long dormancy period and is not easy to emerge. Therefore, before sowing, hawthorn seeds must be treated in advance to ensure their germination rate.

Deep ploughing to accelerate ripening and improve soil: plowing the soil in the garden or deep ploughing the tree tray is an effective measure to conserve water, remove weeds, loosen soil, improve soil permeability, improve soil fertility and promote root growth.
