Prepare the tools and materials needed to plant the jujube tree. First, dig a pit large enough to accommodate the root system of the jujube tree. Add organic fertilizer and an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer to the pit to make the soil more fertile. The jujube seedlings are then planted in a pit to ensure that their roots are fully expanded, and then gently pat them after covering with soil.
Jujube trees need to be watered regularly after planting, especially in hot and dry weather. Make sure the soil is moderately moist, but avoid standing water. Timely weeding and loosening of the soil to keep the soil soft is conducive to the growth of jujube trees. In addition, fertilize at the right time during the growth period, but not in excess, so as not to cause harm to the jujube tree.
Regularly inspect the leaves and fruits of jujube trees, and find that pests and diseases should be prevented and controlled in time, and pollution-free methods should be selected for treatment. In addition, pruning is also a key management skill, and timely pruning can promote the growth of branches and fruit development of jujube trees, and keep the tree shape neat and beautiful.
With proper maintenance and management, jujube trees generally begin to bear fruit two or three years after planting. When the fruit is ripe, it can be picked. Jujube fruit can be eaten directly, or it can be used to make jams, candied fruits and other foods, and enjoy the delicious fruits grown at home.
