Why do many people plant trees in winter now?

The survival rate of planting trees in winter is high.

Many people choose to plant trees in winter, mainly because the survival rate of planting trees in winter is high. Although it is cold in winter, plants also enter a dormant period and are not suitable for growth. But in fact, the survival rate of planting trees in winter is higher than that in spring. Because a lot of nutrients are stored in the tender branches and buds in winter, the roots are not easy to dry up and die when they resume growth in spring.

The cost of planting trees in winter is very low

Planting trees in winter requires more careful management and various warm-keeping measures. The cost should increase. Why should we reduce costs? On the one hand, it is because the price of seedlings in winter is lower and the quality is better. On the other hand, the idle labor cost of many workers at this time is relatively low, which is lower than the peak season of spring employment.

3 Good seedlings improve the survival rate

The key to the survival rate of transplanted trees is the trees themselves. If they get sick and die, the survival rate will be greatly reduced. If they are strong and resistant, the survival rate will generally be higher. Therefore, seedling selection is the key to survival, and it is best to choose those robust, disease-free and harmless seedlings.

The deeply planted hills protect the roots.

The success of tree transplantation mainly depends on the recovery of root system. The new roots grow well and recover quickly, which can absorb nutrients early and supply them for their own consumption, and the relative survival rate will be relatively improved. In winter, the weather is cold, and new roots are easily frostbitten. Therefore, deep burial can rely on the ground temperature to protect the roots. When spring comes, it will tear the surface soil and keep the soil breathable.

5 keep warm and keep out the cold for the winter.

In the past, many people were reluctant to transplant in winter, because the cold weather in winter was easy to frostbite trees and the maintenance cost was relatively high. The cold in winter is inevitable, so it is necessary to keep warm and prevent freezing. In general, it is necessary to wrap the trunk with new branches, cover the roots with plastic film and pour frozen water to protect the trees from frostbite.
