CATDOLL : CATDOLL: The best tree for growing cicadas (What is the best tree for growing cicadas)

1. What kind of tree should be used to raise cicada monkeys?

There are many healthy tree species with vigorous growth and more sap, such as pear trees, apple trees, walnut trees, elm trees, willow trees, ash trees, mulberry trees, orange trees, grapefruit trees, sycamore trees, poplar trees, etc. The food of cicada monkeys is the sap of parasitic trees, such as young branches and the sap of tree roots. The tree species suitable for breeding cicada monkeys are willow trees, followed by poplar trees. These two trees grow very fast and have a relatively high survival rate after planting.

1. Under which trees are cicada monkeys more common?

1. Cicada monkeys usually live on healthy trees that grow vigorously and have more juice, such as pear trees, apple trees, walnut trees, elm trees, willow trees, ash trees, mulberry trees, orange trees, grapefruit trees, sycamore trees, poplar trees, etc. These trees are the favorites of cicada monkeys. Cicada monkeys usually start laying eggs in July and August every year. They will lay eggs in young branches. After the branches wither and fall to the ground, the eggs will hibernate in the soil until the temperature is suitable in May of the following year. The hatching will end at the end of June. In summer, the adults will gradually begin to drill out of the ground, and start a new cycle of emergence, laying eggs, etc.

2. Which type of elm tree is best for raising cicadas?

Golden leaf elm is the best place to raise cicadas. Because golden leaf elm has vigorous capillary roots, cicada nymphs can easily find the root system and survive easily, so golden leaf elm is good for raising cicadas. Golden leaf elm is a medium-speed growing tree, slow in the early stage and fast in the middle and late stages. In a year, golden leaf elm takes root and sprouts late. When the elm lays eggs in the same year, the root system development cannot reach the ideal state, and there will be a phenomenon of delayed growth. The yield of elm in the middle and late stages is relatively ideal. The growth rate of cicadas under elm is slow, and the proportion of unearthed in 3 years is large.

3. What trees are good for breeding cicadas?

Trees suitable for cicadas to parasitize should have well-developed root systems, lush branches, and be able to provide more sap. Currently, the tree species that cicadas prefer to parasitize mainly include elm, poplar, willow, tung trees, and some fruit trees, such as pear trees and apple trees.

In general, the most suitable tree species should be willow, followed by poplar. Both of these trees grow relatively fast and have a high survival rate after planting. Willow is both drought-resistant and waterlogged-resistant, and has many branches and a well-developed root system. It is a more suitable tree species for cicada breeding.

4. Which type of ash tree is best for raising cicadas?

Among the poplars, Italian poplars are the best for breeding cicadas. At present, the tree species that can be used to breed cicadas include willow, elm, poplar, ash, sycamore, toon, apricot, pear, jujube, hawthorn, plum and apple trees.

Because willows have a well-developed root system, grow fast, have slender branches, thin and soft bark, and are rich in juice, they are also very cold-resistant, drought-resistant, and waterlogged-resistant, have a high survival rate, and are easy to cultivate. It is understood that using willows for breeding, cicadas not only grow fast, but also grow large, have high yields, and look good.

5. What trees are used for breeding cicada monkeys?

The most suitable tree species for breeding cicada monkeys is willow, followed by poplar, because these two trees grow very fast and have a higher survival rate after planting.

Willow is drought-resistant and waterlogged-resistant, with many branches and a well-developed root system, making it a very suitable tree species for breeding cicada monkeys. Cicada monkeys bred on willow trees are of relatively uniform size and firm texture, making them very popular in the market.

6. What kind of tree is best for breeding cicadas?

Golden cicadas like trees with soft wood and more sap. Suitable tree species for raising cicadas include willow, elm, poplar, ash, sycamore, Chinese toon, etc. Fruit trees include apricot, plum, apple, pear, etc. For the planting density of trees, take bamboo willow as an example, the planting density of 2*1 in the first year can be sufficient. A high density can lay more egg branches to increase the yield. In the second year, the trees gradually grow up and can be thinned. In the third year, the final density is 4*2, with more than 80 trees per mu.

7. What kind of tree can be used to raise cicada monkeys?

Elm, poplar, willow. Broad-leaved trees such as poplar, willow, and elm can be used to grow cicada monkeys, because these trees have thick leaves, which can provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of cicada monkeys after they fall off, and can also keep warm and retain moisture, which is beneficial to the growth of cicada monkeys.

Generally speaking, as long as these broad-leaved forests have grown for more than five years, they can be planted and raised. After the seeds are planted, they must be managed to prevent pests and diseases, especially rats, snakes and other pests. They can be harvested after 3 to 5 years of growth.
