Can there be octagonal trees in Henan?

Illicium verum is suitable for planting in warm subtropical zone, while Henan is in the transition zone between subtropical climate and warm and humid zone, so it can be planted in Henan. However, it should be noted that it can only be planted in places that meet climatic conditions, such as Xinyang, Nanyang and Zhumadian. When planting, we should choose plots with deep soil layer and drainage, and the soil is slightly acidic, so that Illicium verum can grow better.

Matters needing attention in planting Illicium verum

1, sowing time

Illicium verum has certain requirements for planting environment. You can't plant it just because it's a condiment. Illicium verum is particularly frost-resistant, so the planting time of Illicium verum is related to the planting place.

In frost-free areas, planting is usually carried out between 1 February of each year and1month of the following year, while in areas with frost, planting should be carried out from February to March, when the frost weather has passed and the temperature is rising slowly, so planting can be carried out.

2. Sowing method

We usually use the method of drilling star anise, but we need to transplant it later. When drilling holes, you should pay attention to making a relatively uniform shallow ditch on the whole ground, which is generally about four centimeters wide and two centimeters deep.

Then plant seeds at a spacing of four or five centimeters per plant and twenty centimeters per row, then cover the seeds with a layer of fine soil, and finally cover them with a layer of hay, water them once, and then cover them with a layer of plastic film for safety.
