Is my hometown Zhangjiajie suitable for planting pomegranate trees?

[Edit this paragraph] Pomegranate is a fruit tree with a long history of cultivation in China, which is widely distributed and suitable for field cultivation, yard cultivation and pot cultivation. It can not only bear fruit, but also be used for viewing. Pomegranate is a deciduous shrub or small tree in the north and a tropical evergreen fruit tree. The height of a tree is generally 3-4 meters, and it can be as high as 5-6 meters. Rhizosphere is easy to take root and tiller, and can be used for regeneration or ramet propagation. However, under cultivation conditions, roots and tillers are usually dug up, leaving single stems or multiple stems to grow vertically. Because of the different propagation methods and varieties, the fruit-bearing age of pomegranate trees is also different. Real pomegranate can only blossom and bear fruit in 3 ~ 10 years, while double petal pomegranate or agate pomegranate, which is mainly ornamental, can blossom in the same year of sowing. The continuous fruiting period of pomegranate trees can be as long as 50 ~ 60 years, and then the yield will gradually decline and enter the aging period. After entering the aging period, the fruiting period can still be maintained for 20 ~ 30 years. Therefore, the life span of pomegranate trees can be as long as 100 years, and it can reach more than 200 years if cultivated properly, while the economic cultivation period is only 70 ~ 80 years. The branches of pomegranate trees are generally slender, with obvious axillary buds and needle-like tips, which are opposite; The tips of long branches, sometimes in whorls. In 1 year, the growth of particularly vigorous branches can continue from Zhixia in spring to autumn, and its length can reach 1 ~ 2 meters; Among them, secondary branches and tertiary branches can germinate from the upper part. These secondary branches and tertiary branches are almost at right angles to the parent branch and extend horizontally. So the growth is generally not strong. These secondary branches and tertiary branches, especially secondary branches, can form mixed buds in the same year and blossom and bear fruit in the next year. Anyone who has obvious leaf buds, whether it is a twig 4 ~ 5 cm long or a long branch above 1 m, generally has no terminal buds; However, the growth is extremely weak, with several leaves at the base, terminal buds and no obvious axillary buds. The terminal buds of these extremely short branches can develop into mixed buds in the same year and blossom and bear fruit in the next year. If it is malnourished, the terminal bud is still a leaf bud, and it will grow weakly in the second year, or it will be a very short branch. However, if stimulated, they may grow long branches. The fruiting habit of pomegranate trees is to produce fruiting branches on the fruiting mother branches. Results Most of the mother branches are 1 secondary branches that grow in spring or germinate in early spring. Because these branches formed earlier, their growth and development were more substantial. In the second year, new shoots of about 6 ~ 20 cm grow from the terminal buds or axillary buds of these branches, and generally 1 ~ 5 flowers can grow on these new shoots. This new flowering and fruiting branch is called fruiting branch. Among the flowers borne on the fruiting branches, one is terminal, the others are axillary, and the one bearing fruit at the top is better. Those who bear two fruits at the same time are called "parallel pomegranates"; When the five flowers can bear fruit, it is called "five children entering the home." The fruiting branches of pomegranate trees can't grow forward because their top ends have already borne fruit, so they are concentrated in nutrition and develop healthily. In the second year after fruiting, its lower branches can still form fruiting mother branches or growing branches. Pomegranate trees have many flowers, but the flower and fruit drop are serious, and the fruit setting rate is very low, so the yield is unstable and the phenomenon of big and small years is serious. According to the investigation in Fengcheng City, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, pomegranate trees generally enter the full fruit stage around 15 years old, with a yield of 20 ~ 30 kg per plant, and the highest yield per plant can reach 50 ~ 100 kg. Pomegranate trees, which are commonly used in pomegranate trees, grow naturally and often germinate from the rhizosphere. After planting, the germination is removed, that is, a shrub-type multi-stem natural semi-circular crown is formed. This kind of tree should be allowed to grow in 1 year, and 2 ~ 4 large branches (trunks) should be selected in the second year to remove redundant sprouting tillers, and then the sprouting tillers and root tillers at the base should be removed at any time. The remaining branches below 1 m in the trunk should be removed year by year to facilitate ventilation and light transmission, and concentrate nutrition on the crown above the trunk. After that, 3 ~ 5 branches should be selected on each trunk. This is the ecological habit of pomegranate trees. See if your hometown is the same as its habits. If it is the same or close, it is proved to be suitable for planting!
