There are two main methods of jujube tree propagation: one is sowing propagation, and the other is grafting propagation.
Seeding propagation usually takes place in the fall. Ripe dates are selected, the kernels are removed, soaked in warm water for 2-3 days, and then sown in fertile soil. The sowing depth is usually 2-3 cm, and after sowing is covered with a thin layer of soil. Under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, jujube kernels generally begin to germinate within 1-2 weeks. To promote the growth of seedlings, an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer can be applied to the soil surface.
Grafting propagation is another common method of jujube tree propagation. Choose healthy jujube trees as rootstocks, and select full bud eyes from the scion. Grafting is carried out in spring or autumn, and the interface between the scion and the rootstock needs to be tied with plastic film to maintain humidity and prevent pest and disease infestation. Grafted jujube trees need to be pruned and maintained regularly to ensure their healthy growth.
Regardless of the propagation method, it is necessary to provide sufficient sunlight, water and fertilizer for the jujube tree to ensure its healthy growth and fruit quality. At the same time, it is also necessary to prune and maintain the jujube tree regularly to maintain its shape and promote its growth.
