What kind of sweet-scented osmanthus tree is good to plant in the garden (it is suitable to plant Japanese sweet-scented osmanthus in the family garden)

In fact, when planting osmanthus trees in the courtyard, the first choice is recommended to be Rixianggui , because Rixianggui is a new variety of Sijigui, which has the flowering period of Sijigui and the strong fragrance of August Gui, and is favored by flower lovers.

The crown of the Japanese osmanthus tree is spherical and oval, with relatively dense branches, wide adaptability, and strong resistance to adversity. It can not only withstand cold, but also withstand high temperatures.

Japanese cinnamon prefers neutral to slightly acidic sandy loam rich in organic matter. In addition, Japanese cinnamon has a well-developed root system and grows faster.

When planted in spring, it takes about 30 days for new roots to sprout; in summer, it takes about 15 days to grow new roots. When planted in autumn, when the ambient temperature is maintained at 18-25°C, it generally takes about 7 days for new roots to grow.

When planting bare-root osmanthus or osmanthus with a small amount of soil, it is important to note that when planting in the new loam of osmanthus, do not add fertilizer. Just water it after planting.

In summer, you can water it appropriately to keep the loam moist; especially in winter, do not water it to avoid freezing the roots. When new roots and leaves grow, you can irrigate the Japanese osmanthus with special fertilizer according to the proportion.

Osmanthus fragrans does not like water containing salt and alkali, such as cold tea water, laundry detergent water, etc. If a layer of white granular substance is found on the surface of the loam, it means that the alkali content in the soil exceeds the standard.

It should be watered with 1:1000 times diluted ferrous sulfate water, once every 10 to 15 days, preferably 1 to 2 times a month. This can improve the alkalinity of the water.

Osmanthus fragrans has a strong ability to produce side branches. When the new shoots sprout for the first time, they must be pruned in time, otherwise it will affect the number of sprouts next time; it may even cause excessive growth, affecting the shape of the entire crown.

Many flower lovers grow osmanthus with a high crown, but few side branches and leaves. The main reason for this is that they do not pinch the top and prune in time.

Generally, the side branches can be controlled by pulling, twisting and pressing to make them grow open, thereby weakening the dominance of the top, avoiding excessive growth, and shortening the tree trunk.
