Taxus chinensis seed

Collection of Taxus chinensis seeds

Taxus chinensis seeds mature from late September to early October.

Collect the seeds when they are dark red.

After the seeds are collected, they are immersed in water for 3-5 days.

Mashed skin (arils) washed and dried,

Store indoors in a cool, dry place.

Select suitable seedling land

The forest soil with deep soil layer, loose structure, abundant humus 

and good drainage should be selected for taxus chinensis seedling land, 

which is suitable for seedling cultivation.

Taxus chinensis has the characteristics of shade - loving, 

drought - tolerant and cold - resistant, requiring soil PH value between 5.5 and 7.0.

Taxus chinensis habitat shade tolerance, dense forest can also grow, perennial, not forest.

It is more common in mixed forest with red pine.

Born at the top of the stony or barren soil, mostly shrubby.

The average annual temperature in the country is 2 ° C to 7 ° C, 

and the average annual rainfall is 750 ~ 1000 mm.

They occur mostly under moist, fertile mixed forests on shady or semi-shady slopes.

prefers cool and moist climates,

Can withstand low temperature below minus 30℃, strong cold resistance,

The optimum temperature is 20 ~ 25℃. It belongs to negative species.

Like wet but afraid of waterlogging,

Suitable for planting in loose moist and well drained sandy loam.

The preparation and fertilization of planting land

After the seedling land is selected, the land is prepared and fertilized.

The soil of the new seedling is fertile, so fertilizer is not required.

The old seedling fields must be cultivated and fattened,

Turn 20 ~ 25 cm in autumn,

In the spring, a shallow turn and a fine rake,

While ploughing,

Pour in the decomposed fine manure,

Make a seedbed of 15 ~ 20 cm high, 1.2 m wide and 10 ~ 20 m long.

Spurting of taxus chinensis seeds

Taxus chinensis seeds are deep dormant seeds.

Germination treatment must be carried out before sowing.

The following two methods are used to promote germination:

1. The method of burying buds every other year:

Taxus seeds are soaked in 45℃ warm water for 3 to 4 days.

Remove and disinfect the seeds when they turn milky white,

Then mix the sand with a relative humidity of 60%, which is three times the volume of the seeds.

Put in straw bags or wooden boxes, into the underground cellar.

The cellar should be located 2 meters below the water table in a high terrain with good drainage.

Cellar depth 1.2 ~ 1.8 meters, strictly prevent rats from entering.

In addition, often check the temperature of the cellar, the summer temperature shall not exceed 18 ~ 20℃.

When the temperature of the cellar is high, a shade shed can be set up above or the cellar door can be opened at night to cool down.

Using this method to hoard seeds in the autumn,

Buried all the next year,

In the third year, the seeds are taken out.

For 24 days,

Seeds can be sown when 20 to 30 percent of the radicle has germinated.

2. Overwintering buried bud promotion method:

This method is suitable for seed harvesting and sowing.

By removing the seed coat from fresh seeds that fall,

Resoak the seeds and disinfect them.

It is then buried by the same wet sand burial method as the other year burial method.

Take the seeds out 20 to 30 days before the next spring planting.

Put it in the sun on the leeward slope, and warm the plastic film.

And pay attention to water to keep moist, when part of the shell split can be used for sowing.

Seed sowing and field management of Taxus chinensis

Sowing time is from late April to early May each year.

The seeding amount is 0.045 kg ~ 0.05 kg per square meter of seedling bed.

When sowing, pay attention to smooth the surface of the bed and fill the bed with water.

The seeds are crushed on the bed surface with a wooden roll,

The seeds come into contact with the soil and then cover the river sand,

The thickness is 2 ~ 3 times that of the seed grain, and it is suppressed again after covering the river sand.

In the germination period, according to the principle of "watering less watering often watering", to prevent bird damage.

Once the seedlings are out, spray 1% Bordeaux solution,

Spray once every 7 ~ 10 days, a total of 5 ~ 7 times to prevent seedling quenching.

Overwintering protection of taxus chinensis seedlings

Taxus chinensis seedlings need overwintering protection measures.

1 ~ 4 years old seedlings were covered with soil or grass to prevent drought.

Before the frost falls to Start of winter, the seedlings are covered with soil.

The thickness of the soil cover is a little over 4 to 6 centimeters,

Cover time should not be too early, so as not to rot the seedlings.

Remove the soil after Qingming Festival,

In order to prevent the physiological drying of seedlings,

Need 2 ~ 3 times to finish, after the removal of soil should be watered in time.
