Agricultural technology for growing cypress seeds
Cypress is a coniferous tree that belongs to the Cypress family. Cypress is an ornamental plant that is used for landscaping parks and gardens.
Cypress can be grown in a variety of climate zones, but it grows best in temperate regions.
1. Variety selection
When choosing a cypress variety, you need to consider the following factors:
- Purpose of cultivation. For cultivation as an ornamental plant, varieties with a beautiful crown shape and brightly colored needles are selected.
- Size. Cypress can be dwarf, medium-sized and large-grown. For growing in small gardens, dwarf or medium-sized varieties are selected.
2. Soil preparation
Cypress is a light-loving and moisture-loving crop, so to grow it you need to prepare a sunny and humid place.
In autumn, the site is dug up to a depth of 25-30 cm and organic fertilizers (manure, compost, humus) are applied at the rate of 5-6 kg per 1 m². In spring, the soil is leveled and planting holes are made with a depth and diameter of 60-70 cm.
3. Landing
Cypress seedlings are planted in the spring, when the threat of frost has passed.
A drainage layer of broken brick or crushed stone is poured into the planting hole, then a layer of fertile soil. The seedlings are planted so that the root collar is at soil level. After planting, the seedlings are watered abundantly.
4. Plant care
Cypress is an unpretentious plant, but to obtain good growth and development, the following measures must be taken:
- Watering. Cypress is a moisture-loving crop, so it needs to be watered regularly. Water the plants 2-3 times a week, using 10-15 liters of water per 1 m².
- Feeding. During the period of active plant growth, 2-3 fertilizing with mineral fertilizers is carried out. The first feeding is carried out in the phase of 3-4 true leaves, the second - in the flowering phase, the third - in the fruiting phase.
- Trimming. To form the cypress crown, pruning is carried out. Pruning is carried out in the spring, before the buds open.
- Protection from pests and diseases. Cypress can be attacked by pests and diseases. To protect plants from pests and diseases, plants are sprayed with special preparations.
5. Harvest
Cypress is an ornamental plant, so it does not bear fruit.
Some tips for growing cypress
- To obtain an earlier harvest of cypress, you can grow it from seeds. Cypress seeds are sown in open ground in the fall.
- To increase the yield of cypress, you can plant it next to other coniferous trees. Coniferous trees create a favorable microclimate for cypress growth.
If you follow the agricultural techniques for growing cypress, you can get a beautiful and ornamental plant.
