"It was currently autumn, the perfect season for planting fruit trees. As Zhao Dong organized the seedlings, he shared his knowledge of fruit tree cultivation. "Fruit trees can be planted about half a month before they sprout in the spring, around mid-March, and about ten to fifteen days after they lose their leaves in the fall. Planting them in spring avoids the winter dormancy period, making management more convenient and saving labor and resources. Autumn planting, when the temperature is lower, reduces nutrient loss for the trees and helps root wounds heal."
Zhao Cheng, who was standing by, listened carefully, committing every word to memory and asking questions from time to time.
Seeing Zhao Cheng's interest, Zhao Dong explained more and even took him to plant some fruit tree seedlings himself.
At this time, there weren't many varieties of fruit trees available, so the seedlings Zhao Dong brought back were common ones.
