Cultivation Notes

Barberries need to be pruned in the spring and fall of each year to shorten the branches of the barberries that are too tall to dwarf them and to promote the lateral branches of the barberries, as well as to cut back the branches and leaves of the barberries that are too densely populated, to improve the light penetration and ventilation between the plants, and to promote healthy growth of the barberries.

Additionally, it is also necessary to apply rotted farmyard manure and potash 3-4 times a year during the plant's young period to accelerate the growth of the guava, and in the guava flowering and fruiting period, it is necessary to provide nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium-rich composite fertilizers to promote the differentiation of the plant's flower buds and spray boric acid on the flowers and leaves to increase the rate of fruit set.

The main disease of guava is nematode disease, which will make the root system of the plant rot and turn black, thus causing guava to wither and die. When breeding guava, you need to pull out the diseased plants in time and burn them to avoid further deterioration of the situation, and you need to spray 1-2 times every other week to maintain the normal growth of guava.
