1. What kind of tree should 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.

2. Can cicadas be raised on ginkgo trees?

No. You can use willow, which is a common tree that grows quickly, has slender branches, thin and soft skin, and abundant juice, which cicadas love very much and are easy to suck.

Willow trees are cold-resistant, waterlogged-resistant, and drought-resistant. They are easy to reproduce, have simple cultivation methods, strong vitality, a well-developed root system, and abundant juice. These characteristics all meet the requirements of cicada parasitism.

In terms of uses, willow wood is soft and has a straight texture, making it an excellent material for wooden furniture and small buildings.

Willow trees are also very useful in environmental protection, medicine and other aspects. They are an important tree species for greening the "four sides". We use them to breed cicadas, but we are just taking advantage of its special purpose of providing nutrients for cicadas.

In terms of the quality of cicadas, those bred on willow trees are large, good in appearance, and lovable. They not only sell at a high price in the market, but are also extremely popular.

3. What trees are used to breed 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.

4. What tree is used to graft the golden cicada?

Use poplar, elm, willow, tung trees or various fruit trees in the orchard.

Cicadas generally choose healthy tree species with well-developed root systems, lush growth, and more sap for breeding, which is the key link to improve the efficiency and yield of cicada breeding. For example, poplar, elm, willow, tung or various fruit trees in the orchard are all tree species that cicadas like to eat. In addition, dwarf shrubs such as honeysuckle and waxwood are also crops that cicadas like to eat.

You cannot breed cicadas under pine trees or bitter orange trees. Because the roots of pine trees have a special pine scent, cicadas do not like to eat bitter orange trees. Cicada larvae also do not like to eat the bitter sap.

Before the cicadas mature, you can wrap a smooth plastic film around the tree trunk 30 cm above the ground to prevent the cicadas from crawling up the tree, making them easier to harvest. You can also use a flashlight to catch them on the ground and trunks under the tree at night. Or you can catch the young adult cicadas on the tree in the early morning.

5. 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.

6. Is it okay to raise cicadas under a Sophora japonica tree?

Sophora japonica can be used to raise cicadas.

Cicadas like trees such as willow, poplar, ash, bauhinia, apple, pear, locust, Chinese scholar tree, and elm.

Because the cicada is an omnivorous insect, the larvae use their beaks to suck liquid from the larger roots of shrubs and trees in the soil. They prefer to parasitize on the roots of citrus, apple, pear and other fruit trees. The cicada can survive underground for 3-13 years.

That is, general broad-leaved tree species can be used to cultivate cicadas.

8. How about planting cicadas under the tree of Koelreuteria paniculata?

Can

Cicada breeding

Choose healthy tree species with well-developed lateral root systems, lush growth, and more sap. In addition, intercrop some root and tuber plants, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams. No need to buy facilities. There are many trees in rural areas, and the fast-raising golden cicada technology can grow normally without affecting the growth of trees. There is no need for feeding and management. Cicada eggs are hidden in the soil, and the nymphs of the first eggs will suck the sap of crops or tree roots to grow.
