The family planting method of phenanthrene oil fruit should pay attention to fertilization and pruning.

Philippine avocado is suitable for growing in sunny places, resistant to drought and alkali, and needs certain air humidity, but it can not be moist for a long time, it does not require high soil, but it needs good drainage, and its fruit yield will be reduced if the salt and alkali in the soil are too high. Can use sowing propagation, can also use cutting, striping and grafting propagation, family planting every spring and autumn to apply thin fertilizer to fruit trees, once a week, spring or the end of winter can be changed, and irregular pruning.

Philippine avocado is an evergreen shrub or small tree, its fruit skin is dark green, the pulp inside is similar to guava, so it is also called Feiji fruit, Phoenix pomegranate, Fei Yue fruit, pineapple guava, Nazi melon.

1. Growth environment

Philippine avocado is suitable for growing in places where the sun is warm, but it can also resist low temperatures in winter, and it is suitable to live in places with annual precipitation of 600mm-1500mm, but it does not like long-term moisture. It is resistant to drought and alkali, and the fruit needs sufficient moisture when growing. Lack of moisture will lead to fruit shedding. If long-term growth requires sufficient sunlight and high air humidity, it can survive at a low temperature of-10 ℃. But the optimum temperature for overwintering is 4 ℃-10 ℃.

It has no particularly strict requirements on the soil, and the most suitable for growth and development is in the fertile and well-drained soil with pH 6.0-6.5, which is rich in organic matter. If the soil contains too much salt and alkali, it will reduce the growth and fruit yield of phenanthrene avocado. It can resist sea breeze, can grow about one meter a year, and is easy to cultivate and manage.

2. Cuttage propagation

According to the climatic conditions of different regions, ear cutting can be carried out when the branches of Philippine oil fruit are semi-lignified, the length of ear cutting is generally in 3.5cm, 2 lateral buds and 2 opposite leaves should be left, the whole leaf should be retained or half leaves should be cut off, and if the bottom is cut flat, the cut height of the female parent should be kept as 15cm, if the 2-year biological mother needs to retain 25cm, and the 3-year biological mother should retain 30cm. For four years, 35cm should be retained, while those for more than five years can not be used as female parents. High hedgerows with height of 120cm and crown width of 60cm can be cultivated, and flat stubble measures can be taken to promote the germination and rejuvenation of the base of female parents and improve the quality of panicle strips.

It can be sown and propagated, or it can be propagated by cutting, striping and grafting. Thin fertilizer and water should be applied to Philippine oil trees from spring to autumn, once a week, to maintain soil wettability, and to change pots in spring or at the end of winter. trees should be pruned irregularly to prevent their disorderly growth or loose plant shape. generally, Philippine oil trees will blossom in the third year and begin to bear fruit after the fourth year. It takes enough patience to grow Philippine avocado.

3. Main value

Philippine avocado contains a lot of vitamin C, plant fiber, fruit acid, as well as a variety of glycosides and flavonoids, which has the effects of detoxification, anti-cancer and reducing blood lipids. It can not only eat but also make a variety of milkshakes, fruit juices, jams, ice cream and other foods.

However, its fruit ripening period is relatively short, only from March to June every year, the fruit is easy to be damaged after ripening, so it is not suitable for mature fruit preservation and transportation.
