Monthly maintenance method of horse chestnut

Horse Chestnut Care: September to October

For seed collection, the capsule is spherical, with a flat and slightly concave top. Around late September, the capsule turns yellowish brown and can be collected. The germination ability of seeds disappears quickly after harvesting, so they should be sown immediately after harvesting. The seeds that are not to be sown can be stored in sand, but the germination rate is not high. Seedlings should be sown immediately after harvesting, with the hilum facing downward. After sowing, cover with soil and grass, and the seeds will sprout out of the soil the following spring. In spring sowing and seedling raising, the seedlings will germinate one after another as they are harvested and sown. Pay attention to watering and keeping warm to promote emergence.

For planting seedlings and greening, horse chestnut likes light, is slightly shade-tolerant, likes a mild climate, and is suitable for deep, fertile, moist and well-drained soil. It is necessary to cultivate the land, apply base fertilizer, and plant with the original soil. Large seedlings are preferred.

The seedlings like moisture. After all the seedlings have emerged, it is necessary to build a shed to provide shade in time and spray water to keep the seedbed moist. Loosen the soil, remove weeds, and apply appropriate fertilizer. Pay attention to drainage and flood prevention during the rainy season.

The main tasks of young tree care are loosening the soil and weeding.
