Is the north suitable for growing huanghuali trees?
Suitable. Huanghuali wood is thick and easy to grow, and has strong adaptability. Northern China has four distinct seasons throughout the year, with warm and rainy summers and cold and dry winters. Suitable for planting yellow rosewood.
Planting points:
When the pods turn yellow-brown, you can pick them, dry them in the sun, crush the peels and take out the seeds. Soak in clean water for 24 hours before sowing, spread evenly on the seedbed, and begin to germinate within half a month. When true leaves grow, they can be moved into nutrient bags or transplanted in separate beds. Use 1-year seedlings out of the nursery for afforestation, or use half-year seedlings in nutrient bags for afforestation. Afforestation sites should be selected on sunny or semi-sunny slopes in mountains below 500 meters above sea level.
