Walnut has the reputation of longevity fruit, which means harmony and beauty. How to raise it in the yard?

Walnut is a favorite nut of many friends, because walnut, almond, cashew nut and hazelnut are also called the four largest nuts in the world. Walnut can have such an honor because it contains a variety of vitamins and trace elements, so it has the reputation of "longevity fruit" and "Long live the son". Moreover, walnuts have beautiful meanings such as "harmony is precious, harmony and happiness", so many flower friends with courtyards like to plant a walnut tree in the courtyard. Autumn is very suitable for planting walnuts, so how should we plant and manage walnuts?

1. To grow walnuts in the yard, you need to choose a good place. Because walnut trees are relatively tall, they are suitable for planting in the front and back of the courtyard, or on the east and west sides of the courtyard, away from the windowsill. This can prevent poor indoor lighting, and there are some shade trees in summer, which can make the courtyard cooler.

We can grow walnuts with deep, fertile and loose soil. So when planting walnuts, you can dig a bigger pit, then put some decomposed manure and mix it with soil to plant walnuts. This kind of soil is porous, breathable and fertile, which is beneficial to the growth of walnut trees.

2. Like humid environment, walnut trees like humid environment. If the soil is too dry, it is not conducive to the growth of walnuts and the ripening of fruits. How to water walnuts?

Watering in spring: When walnuts grow new branches in spring, they belong to the vigorous growth period of walnut trees. The growth of new branches can make walnut flourish and the plant type more round and full. Walnuts like water these days. We will water them again when the soil turns white.

Water after fruit setting: After walnut fruit setting, the fruit of walnut enters the growth period. During this period, if there is no water, walnuts will dry and shrink without pulp. Therefore, during this time, the soil needs to be kept moist and does not need watering.

3. Reasonable fertilization in the growth period of walnut trees, in addition to the base fertilizer used when planting walnuts, should also be properly fertilized in the growth period, which can promote the growth and function of walnut trees. Then how to fertilize?

Fertilization at seedling stage: We fertilize walnuts at seedling stage, mainly to promote their growth. We can apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer 2-3 times a year during the vigorous growth period.

Fertilization at seedling stage: before flowering, after fruiting, expansion and hard core stage of walnut, 0.8 ~ 1 kg of nitrophosphate was applied to each plant. In spring, when the new branches of walnut grow vigorously, bloom and the fruit expands, 0. 1%~0.2% boron fertilizer and 0.3%~0.4% copper sulfate can be sprayed wet.

After harvesting, when walnuts are frozen in late autumn and early winter, burying decomposed manure once and watering again can prevent walnuts from freezing and make walnuts grow more vigorously in the coming year.

The walnuts planted in the yard should be pruned properly to prevent the walnut trees from being too big and occupying too much space. So how do we prune the walnut tree?

Pruning of young trees: our newly planted walnut trees are mainly shaped, with the height of the central trunk about 80~ 100cm, and then the lateral branches of walnuts are pruned, and the length is shortened accordingly, mainly to make the walnut trees ventilated and transparent, and the plant shape is short and beautiful.

Pruning of mature trees: Pruning of walnut seedlings is mainly carried out before germination of walnut trees in winter or early spring. It is mainly to cut dry, weak and long branches that affect the growth of other branches, which can play a role in ventilation and light transmission, and can also reduce nutrient loss, so that walnut trees can grow better and bear more fruits.

Walnut has the reputation of "long live the fruit, long live the son" and is one of the four major nuts. It is auspicious, harmonious and beautiful, and is very suitable for planting in the courtyard. When we plant walnuts, as long as we do the above four things well, we can make the walnut trees grow vigorously and the branches are covered with walnut fruits.
