The spacing of red plum planting is mainly determined by factors such as planting purpose, terrain conditions, variety of red plum, and tree age. Here are some specific suggestions: 1. Planting purpose
The main purpose is to produce cut flowers: If cultivated with the main purpose of producing cut flowers, red plums are mostly planted in open fields, and the plant spacing can be relatively small, such as 3 meters by 3 meters, in order to promote the growth of a large number of longer flower branches.
Viewing or landscaping: If viewing or landscaping is the purpose, the planting spacing of red plums should be appropriately increased to ensure that each red plum has sufficient growth space and viewing effect. Usually, the spacing between each red plum plant can be maintained between 60 centimeters and several meters, depending on the terrain, red plum variety, and garden design requirements. 2、 Terrain conditions
Flat terrain: Planting red plums on flat terrain can be planned according to the planting objectives mentioned above.
Sloping or irregular terrain: When planting red plums on sloping or irregular terrain, flexible adjustments need to be made according to the actual situation of the terrain. In areas with steep slopes, the spacing can be appropriately reduced to increase the coverage area of red plums; In flat or open areas, the spacing can be appropriately increased to create a more expansive landscape effect. 3、 Red plum varieties and tree age
Different varieties: Red plums of different varieties may have differences in growth rate and crown size, so the planting spacing needs to be determined based on the specific characteristics of each variety.
Tree age: As the age of the red plum tree increases, its crown width will gradually increase. When planting, it is necessary to consider the growth situation in the next few years and reserve sufficient growth space appropriately. 4、 Other factors
Light conditions: Red plum requires sufficient light to promote growth and flowering, so it should be planted in areas with sufficient light and avoid planting too densely, which can lead to insufficient light.
Soil conditions: Although red plums do not have strict requirements for soil, they grow better in fertile, loose, and well drained soil. Soil improvement can be carried out before planting to enhance soil fertility.
The spacing of red plum planting needs to be comprehensively considered based on factors such as planting purpose, terrain conditions, red plum variety, and tree age. When planning the planting spacing, it is necessary to ensure that each red plum has sufficient growth space and ornamental effect, and avoid planting methods that are too dense or too sparse.
