Description

Full and plump Dalbergia odorifera seeds maintain high germination activity. Also known as fragrant rosewood, it is a rare precious timber tree with extremely high economic and medicinal value. Its heartwood has hard texture, beautiful grain and natural fragrance, widely used in high-end furniture and craft production. The trunk extract can be used as traditional medicinal materials.

This tree likes warm climate, has strong drought resistance and barren tolerance, but cannot resist low temperature and frost, and is very afraid of soil waterlogging. Seedlings grow relatively slowly, and young trees can blossom and bear fruit in about 5 years under good growing conditions. It is widely planted for precious timber base building, southern mountain economic forest development and high-grade courtyard landscape trees. It adapts to deep, loose, well-drained slightly acidic loam soil. Low-lying waterlogged land and heavy sticky clay must be avoided to prevent root rot and seedling death. Daily management mainly ensures sufficient sunlight, smooth drainage and regular fertilizer supply, which is a long-cycle high-income economic tree variety integrating timber and medicine.

Planting Instructions

Soil Preparation
Mix fertile garden soil, river sand and decomposed organic fertilizer to make loose breathable planting soil. Use raised seedbeds for field sowing to ensure rainwater drains quickly. Do not use heavy clay soil with poor air permeability.
Seed Pre-treatment
Remove the outer dry pod shells and pick out full seeds. Disinfect seeds with weak potassium permanganate water for half an hour, then soak in warm water for about 10 hours until seeds fully absorb water. No low-temperature sand stratification is needed, fresh seeds have the best germination effect.
Sowing Method
Adopt strip sowing on seedbeds, lay seeds evenly and cover 1cm thin sand on the surface, gently compact and water thoroughly. It is better to transplant the germinated seedlings into nutrition bags for container cultivation first, which can greatly improve the survival rate of field planting.
Germination Condition
Keep the soil slightly moist without accumulated water, the optimal germination temperature is 22-30℃. Seedlings will emerge intensively within 15 to 30 days. Cover thin film before germination to keep warmth and humidity, and uncover the film in time after sprouting to ventilate and prevent seedling diseases.
Daily Maintenance
The tree is a full-sun species, insufficient light will lead to thin seedlings and slow growth. Water moderately in the growing season, drain all ponding in rainy seasons to avoid root rot. Properly trim side branches in the growth process to cultivate straight main trunk for high-quality timber. Apply diluted compound fertilizer twice a year to promote seedling growth.

FAQ

Q1: Can it be planted in northern cold areas?

A1: Cannot. It is a thermophilic tree, easy to freeze to death under frost, only suitable for warm southern regions.

Q2: Does the seed need low-temperature stratification treatment?

A2: No, only warm water soaking and disinfection are enough to break the hard seed coat dormancy.

Q3: What is the biggest taboo during planting?

A3: Long-term soil waterlogging causes root rot, and low temperature frost will directly lead to plant death.

Q4: How many years can the tree produce valuable timber?

A4: It grows slowly, and it needs more than 15 years to form usable heartwood with economic value.

Q5: Is it friendly to novice growers?

A5: Suitable for growers in suitable climate zones. The key points are raised bed drainage, full sunlight and seedling disease prevention.
