The origin of pine and red plum

Songhongmei is native to New Zealand, Australia and other regions, and likes a cool, humid and sunny environment. The cold tolerance of red plum is not very strong, and the temperature must be kept above-1℃ in winter, so it can only be potted for viewing in the north, and can be used in courtyard greening in the south with mild climate. Songhongmei has low requirements on soil, but it grows best in slightly acidic soil rich in humus, loose and fertile, and well drained. The optimum growth temperature is 65438 08℃ ~ 25℃. In summer, if you are afraid of high temperature and scorching sun exposure, you can maintain it in a shade shed, shade or other cool and ventilated places, and you should give plenty of sunshine in other seasons. Apply decomposed dilute liquid fertilizer every 1 ~ 2 months during the growing period, keep the soil moist at ordinary times, and pay attention to drainage in rainy season to avoid long-term water accumulation in the soil. Prune carefully once a year after flowering to achieve the purpose of dwarfing the crown and keeping the tree beautiful, and also promote the germination of new flowering branches. When pruning, it should be noted that except for some branches that affect the plant type, other branches can not be cut off, and generally half or two-thirds can be cut off. Because there are no living buds on the mature lignified branches of Songhongmei, if it is pruned too much and only the mature branches are left, the plant will not be able to resume growth. Apply quick-acting inorganic fertilizer after pruning to promote plant growth and ensure flowering in the next year. Because the root system of Pinus thunbergii is close to the surface of soil, we should try to avoid turning over the soil to avoid damaging the root system.
