Terminalia mantaly aliases: Terminalia, African Terminalia, Umbrella Tree, French Loquat. Although its tree shape is high, its branches are extremely soft. After the root group grows steadily, it is extremely resistant to strong winds and salt tolerance. It is an excellent coastal tree species. So what is the farming method of Terminalia mantaly? Let's find out together.

Breeding methods of Terminalia mantaly (basic knowledge):
The best breeding time: sowing is suitable for spring to summer; grafting is suitable in early March, and it is not suitable for grafting in rainy weather.
Best Growing Soil: Terminalia mantaly is resistant to barrenness, salinity and alkali, and is extremely adaptable. It can be planted in all kinds of soils, but fertile sandy soil is preferred.
Growth humidity requirements: Terminalia mantaly likes high temperature and humidity, and the relative humidity in the Mediterranean area is generally 40%-65%.
The best growth temperature: Terminalia mantaly likes high temperature and heat resistance. The suitable growth temperature is about 23-32 °C, and the top branches below 0 °C are susceptible to freezing damage.
Optimal growing light: Terminalia mantaly positive plants need sufficient sunlight.
Precautions for breeding Terminalia mantaly:
Apply fertilizer:
Terminalia mantaly applies organic fertilizer once a year in spring and summer.
Watering tips:
After the Terminalia mantaly is planted, enough water for root-fixing is poured. It needs more water in the seedling stage and should be replenished frequently. Then water according to the climate and soil moisture.
Pruning essentials:
The crown is unbalanced, a little pruning is done after the leaves fall, and the lateral branches at the lower part of the main trunk are cut off, which can promote the main trunk to grow taller. The pruning method should try not to prune the terminal buds and lateral buds, so that the lateral branches and leaves are expanded before pruning. At present, there are two types of beautiful Terminalia mantaly, one is tower type and the other is umbrella type. The pruning methods of these two tree types are different. With tower-shaped pruning, the trunk of the terminal bud can grow indefinitely. The pruning of the side branches is more particular. The closer the side branches to the base are, the less pruned they are, in other words! The side branches near the base are longer, and the side branches near the top are shorter.
Umbrella pruning, you must first focus on the first and second layers of side branches, and saw off the main stem of the terminal bud from between the second and third layers of side branches. Afterwards, nutrients will be supplied to the first and second layers of side branches, and it will become an expanded tree crown. Dangling under the tree like a natural umbrella.
Breeding points:
Terminalia mantaly is often propagated by sowing and grafting.
1. Sowing method
It is better to take mature and fallen seeds and sow them from spring to summer.
2. Grafting method
The rootstock is the terminal tree, and it is suitable for grafting in early March, and it is not suitable for grafting in rainy weather.
The trunk of Terminalia mantaly is round and straight. The branches are naturally layered and in whorls around the trunk. The layers are clear and orderly and spread out horizontally. The branches are soft, loquat-shaped with small leaves and short hairs. After the leaves fall in winter, the bare and thin branches are beautiful , it shows unique style; new green leaves sprout in spring, flowing with the wind, and the posture is very elegant.
