In winter, 3 main branches were truncated, and several lateral branches were cultivated on each main branch, each occupying a certain space. When the crown extends too far, the lower part of the phenomenon of baldness, to timely retract the head, cut off dead branches.

Persian Silk trees are light and shade intolerant, though there are only a few exceptions to soil requirements such as drought, poverty, cold, and flood. If available, there are only persian silk trees in the thick, slightly acidic loam soil. It can also grow well in poor soil.

When transplanting, we should be careful and careful, and protect the root system. For large seedlings, we should set up supports to prevent them from being blown down or slanting.

Planting should be in an open, well-drained and sunny area. Usually according to plant spacing 3 meters, row spacing 3 meters, its diameter is 80 centimeters, depth is 80 centimeters. Put a three-year seedling into each hole, first straighten it, make the root system stretch, and then fill the soil and trample solid.

Transplanting is best done in the evening. After planting, it can be combined with water and apply light organic fertilizer, or spray 0.2%~0.3% urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate mixed liquid to the leaves.
