Hazelnut tree planting steps and methods

1. Germination: The seed coat of cereal trees is too hard, so the first step in planting cereal trees is to germinate the seeds. When planting in autumn, soak the seeds for a week, and then bury them in indoor sand for a month to germinate.

2. Covering soil: If planting in spring, you need to choose a shady place with high terrain in autumn. Because such places are not easy to accumulate water. Dig a hole about one meter deep, spread river sand, put seeds until it is level with the upper part, and then cover with soil.

3. Disinfection: To prevent the seeds from getting moldy when they are buried in the soil after being soaked, soak them in potassium permanganate solution for a while. This can effectively prevent the seeds from getting moldy during the germination process.

4. Soil: The cultivation of Zhenshu should be selected on a sunny and gentle slope. The soil is preferably sandy soil, but clay and soil can also grow. The pH value of the soil should be between 5.5 and 7.5.

5. Spacing: In places with flat slopes, the spacing is large, and when the slope is large, the planting can be dense. It varies according to the momentum of the variety and the purpose of cultivation.
