Planting techniques of Hawaiian Fruit "King of dried fruits"

Hawaiian fruit, also known as macadamia nut, Queensland fruit and so on, is a kind of nut native to Australia and has high economic value. So, what are the planting techniques for Hawaiian fruits? If you want to plant, let's learn about it!

1. Land selection and preparation

Hawaiian fruit is a tropical cash crop, which has strong adaptability and is more suitable for planting on flat land. Although it is a tropical plant, the planting temperature should not exceed 34 degrees, and the winter temperature only needs to be kept above zero. To choose the soil with deep, soft and humus-rich soil, the soil PH value should be controlled at about 5, and the permeability should be strong, which can ensure normal water supply in summer drought. Finally, due to the poor wind resistance of Hawaiian trees, windbreaks should be established in areas where there are few strong winds and strong winds.

2. Selection and planting

The selection of varieties is very important. When selecting varieties, we should pay attention to their growth ability, wind resistance, yield and tree shape. Usually, Hawaiian fruits are planted mainly by clonal buds, which are cultivated for about two years. Then prepare for timely planting, and when planting, we should pay attention to avoid high temperature, rainy and dry weather, preferably after rain. Because this can promote the growth of young trees as soon as possible, control the planting density, and keep the number of trees per mu less than 35, because Hawaiian fruit trees have a high probability of self-sterility, in order to improve the fruit rate, at least two or more varieties should be maintained in each mu.

3. Young tree management

After successful planting, it is necessary to do a good job in the management of young trees, regularly watering the soil to prevent soil drought and increase soil water content, and after about two months after planting, it is necessary to fertilize properly according to the actual growth of young trees and to maintain the principle of more than a small amount of topdressing. When the young tree shoots mature, they can begin to top fertilizer, which is basically regarded as the young tree stage of Hawaiian fruit trees in the first three years of planting. During this time, if the top bud grows too vigorously. It is necessary to cut off the top properly, remove the ineffective low-hanging branches, and do not prune the rest.

4. Put into production tree management

After the third year of planting, Hawaiian fruit trees basically begin to bear fruit. at this time, Hawaiian fruit trees consume a lot of nutrients, so they should be reasonably pressed green when cleaning the garden every winter, and then apply an appropriate amount of farm fertilizer and compound fertilizer under each fruit tree. the amount of fertilizer should be determined according to the age of the fruit trees. the older the tree is, the more fertilizer will be used, and the pruning work at this stage is mainly retracted. In addition, low hanging branches, overlong dense branches and branches of diseases and insect pests should be cut off in time, which can not only avoid consuming too much nutrition, but also improve the permeability of the tree.

The above is the planting technology of Hawaiian fruit. If you want to invest in planting, you must learn more in order to get higher economic benefits.
