Gold Willow Willow Planting Essentials
Jinsi Weeping Willow is a newly developed eco-friendly tree species that stands out for its unique features. Unlike traditional willows, it doesn't produce flying hair, grows rapidly with a short cultivation cycle, and has no knots on the trunk. In autumn, its branches and trunk gradually turn yellow, and by winter, the entire tree takes on a golden hue. This species boasts a strong root system, making it highly resistant to cold, drought, and saline conditions. It also exhibits strong disease resistance and quick germination. When propagated through cuttings, it can reach heights of 3–4 meters and a diameter of 2.5–3 centimeters within a year—more than three times the growth rate of ordinary willows. The best time for planting is in early November, with a survival rate as high as 99%. In contrast, spring cuttings have lower survival rates, making autumn the optimal season for afforestation.
Before planting, the soil should be thoroughly loosened and leveled to ensure proper irrigation. Based on the soil fertility, an appropriate amount of base fertilizer, such as well-rotted manure, should be applied and evenly distributed. Cuttings should be cut to a length of 13–14 cm, spaced 0.25 m apart in rows 0.65 m wide, covering about 3110 acres. After planting, the soil should be watered so that the top of the cutting is slightly above the water level—about 0.5 cm higher.
After planting, proper management is essential. Once the ground freezes, the soil around the cuttings should be covered with surface soil to protect them. In early spring, when the soil thaws, a layer of frozen water should be poured to help the roots establish. Once buds appear, they should be pruned when they reach 10 cm in length, leaving only the strongest one. When the new shoots grow to about 30 cm, apply 20–30 kg of urea per acre. When the trees reach 100 cm, apply 30–50 kg of urea along with some fast-acting phosphate fertilizer. Throughout the growing season, remove side shoots 3–4 times. For example, when the main stem reaches 80 cm, cut back 20–30 cm; at 150–160 cm, trim 50–60 cm; when it reaches 240–270 cm, cut off 120–140 cm from the tip. At 350–400 cm, remove 200–250 cm from the top. Use scissors to make clean cuts close to the base, which helps the tree grow straight and tall.
Pest control should be carried out promptly after the seedlings emerge. A solution of imidacloprid diluted 3000 times can be used to manage locusts. Around late June, watch for bollworms and apply cypropathrin at a dilution of 1500 times, while also adding a 2000 times dilution of broom and net phlegm agents for enhanced protection. Regular monitoring and timely intervention are key to ensuring healthy growth and a successful harvest.
