How to make Xanthoceras sorbifolia bloom at Christmas

Normal flowering time

This tree normally blooms in spring and is planted in northern areas of my country, so even if it grows outdoors, it can safely survive the winter. The flowering time is basically in early spring in February, but because the differences between varieties are particularly large and the fruiting is unstable, it is not planted for the purpose of fruiting, but used as oil and ecological forests, and the benefits are still very good. But their flowers are very beautiful when they bloom. Clusters of small white flowers with red hearts bloom together, facing the blue sky, which has its own beauty.

Flowering Knocks on the Door: Water and Fertilizer Control

Winter comes early in the north, so you should stop watering and fertilizing from September, and only give frozen water once before November. Because the heat capacity of water is relatively large, the temperature of the land changes greatly during the winter, but water can mitigate these changes and prevent the land from cooling down too quickly. Doing this will also help incorporate previously applied fertilizers into the soil. When there are strong winds in winter, the soil will not be blown away. This can keep warm and moisturize, and also prevent plants from frostbite. So freezing water is very necessary.

Flowering Knocks: Proper Pruning

For crown trees that are over 5 years old, you can cut off the dense branches, overlapping branches, relatively thin branches and branches that have been attacked by diseases and insects. This not only prevents the spread of diseases and insects, but also allows the remaining branches to be exposed to more sunlight, allowing the remaining branches to grow better. However, when pruning, be sure to pay attention to retaining their terminal buds, because their terminal flower buds can bloom and bear fruit.
