Planting method of macadamia fruit

1, land selection

Choose the soil with deep and soft soil layer and rich humus, the soil PH value needs to be adjusted around 5, and the permeability needs to be strong to ensure normal water supply in hot weather and drought. Finally, because of the poor wind resistance of Hawaiian trees, it is necessary to establish windbreaks in areas where there are few strong winds and many strong winds.

2, seed selection and planting

Under normal circumstances, the cultivation of macadamia is mainly based on clonal bud grafting seedlings. After two years of cultivation, bud grafting is done well, and then preparatory work is done to plant in time. When planting, you need to pay attention to avoid high temperature, rainy and dry weather, and it is best to do it after the rain, because this will promote the young trees to recover as soon as possible. Adjust the planting density and keep the number of trees planted per mu within 35.

3. Young tree management

After successful planting, it is necessary to do a good job in the management of young trees and often water them to avoid soil drought and improve soil water content. Then, after two months of planting, topdressing is appropriate according to the actual growth of young trees, and the principle of more topdressing and less topdressing is maintained. When the young shoots mature, they can start topdressing.
