When is the best time to transplant wolfberry trees?

1. Transplanting time

It is recommended to transplant wolfberry trees before they sprout in spring. The specific time should be determined based on the temperature and climate of the area. If it is in the northern region, it should be done in March or April, preferably after the soil temperature stabilizes, so that it is not easy to be frostbitten and the plants can adapt to the new environment more quickly. If it is in the southern region, it should be done earlier, around February. It can reduce damage to the plants before germination.

2. Transplanting method

1. Dig the plants: After determining the time, you can dig the plants. Note that you should make the hole as big as possible and bring the soil with you, so that the roots are not easily injured, which can reduce damage and enable them to adapt faster after planting. The roots are not easily damaged during transportation.

2. Planting in the soil: Dig a hole of appropriate size in the selected plot according to the size of the soil ball. Note that the soil should be loose and breathable. Put the soil ball in, then fill it with soil and compact it. Be careful not to let it fall over. After burying the soil, water it thoroughly to allow the roots to combine with the soil, so that it can resume growth faster.

3. Post-management: Pay more attention to it after planting and observe it more often. Water immediately if you find the soil is dry. Don’t apply fertilizer first. Wait until new leaves grow before managing it normally. Otherwise, it will not be absorbed and will cause harm to it.
