Can hawthorn trees be grown in the north?

Hawthorn trees can be planted in the north, even in the northeast region, because hawthorn trees are different from ordinary fruit trees. The plant is very cold-resistant and can grow normally in an environment of -35℃, so it can be planted in the north.

The hawthorn tree is native to China and mostly grows on the edge of hillside forests or in bushes at an altitude of 100-1500 meters. It prefers a cool and humid climate. The main producing areas are Hebei, Henan, Inner Mongolia, Shandong and other places.

How to plant hawthorn trees in the north

1. Soil: Hawthorn trees have high requirements for soil, which must be loose, soft and breathable. Do not use soil that is too sticky or compacted, otherwise it will cause poor plant growth. Regular soil loosening will be required in the later stage.

2. Fertilization: Fertilization is also very important for hawthorn trees. Add base fertilizer to the soil before planting, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering. Pay attention to controlling the concentration each time you fertilize, and do not use too concentrated fertilizers.

3. Light: Hawthorn trees need to be given sufficient sunlight during their growth period, and the maintenance environment should not be too shaded, otherwise it will affect the flowering and fruiting of the hawthorn trees. Just be careful not to expose the hawthorn trees to the sun during the seedling stage.
