It is advisable to raise seedlings first and then transplant them into beds. When seedlings are 10-20 cm high, they can be grown. The seeding substrate may be river sand or sandy soil. Sow seeds with pods. The pods should be winged (cut off or burned) before sowing. When sowing, the bed surface should be scraped flat with wood first, and the pods are not overlapped. Cover the soil to see the seed as a degree, do not be too thick, otherwise it is difficult to emerge, and then cover some straw and other moisture. Seedling begins to emerge in 7 days. Generally, the germination rate of pods is more than 50%, with 2-3 seedlings per pod, as many as 4 and as few as 1. One month after the emergence of seedlings, they can be transplanted into separate beds or into container bags. The row spacing of plants in separate beds is 20 cm ×20 cm.

Spring and summer season with 1-2 cm thick branches as cuttings, about 5 cm in diameter of the bud is also often used for cuttings, and it can also be used for 2-3 years of big tree cuttings, the survival rate is high, cutting 3-6 months after the nursery.

Bare root seedling afforestation general seedling height should reach about 1 meter, too large seedling should be truncated. Woodland should be a Qingshan hole, hole size of 60 cm ×60 cm ×40 cm. Base fertilizer has a better afforestation effect. The planting density was 2 m x 3 m or 2 m x 4 m. Pure forest can be built or mixed with other tree species. The mixed tree species can choose short rotation period tree species such as acacia thick pod, acacia big leaf as interrow mixed, which can make the sparse logging get reasonable utilization.

Tending

Narra branches and leaves of cattle and sheep especially like to eat, afforestation should be banned immediately after grazing. In order to promote the growth of young forest, after 1 month of planting, urea 50 g/plant was applied to the holes around young trees, the effect was obvious. Weeding and soil should be removed 2 times a year, and timely sprout pruning in order to cultivate good dry form. High planting density should be based on the principle of retaining the best and excluding the inferior trees to cut down the pressed and weak trees, to maintain the appropriate density of standing trees.
