Where does the cherimoya grow? How to grow?

Annona is also called Sakya fruit, Buddha's head fruit and so on, because it is very similar to litchi, so it is named "Annona", which is a famous fruit in the tropics. So, where is the origin of Annona? How to plant Annona? Let's get to know it together.

Where is the origin of Annona?

Annona (Sakya fruit) is native to tropical America and is cultivated in Hainan, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan. Annona prefers light and warm and humid climate, and requires an annual average temperature of more than 22 degrees and is not hardy. It is suitable to grow in deep, fertile and well-drained sandy loam soil, and the main fruit ripening period is from June to November.

Second, how to grow Annona?

1. Planting time

Sakya fruit trees are usually planted around March in spring, when the temperature is in the rising stage, which is beneficial to the growth of the plant. if it is a low temperature area, plastic film mulching or greenhouse greenhouse should be adopted to increase the temperature. Annona florescence is from May to June in summer, while the fruit period is from June to November.

2. Methods of reproduction

There are two methods of planting Sakya seedlings and grafting seedlings, which are healthy and disease-free plants. after a series of treatment, the seeds should not be buried too deep in suitable soil. Watering to keep the soil moist, the seeds will germinate, while grafting seedlings are generally used in spring and bud grafting in summer to cultivate excellent seedlings.

3. Inter-park management

When the plant is in the seedling stage, it should be watered every 3-5 days, if it is dry, it should be watered every day, on the contrary, the watering time should be prolonged in cloudy and rainy weather, if the rainfall is too heavy, it should be drained in time, and when the seedlings grow to 6-8 leaves, some thin dung water or low concentration of urea dissolved oxygen can be applied, and the concentration of fertilizer and water can be gradually increased with the growth of the plant. In the later stage of seedling growth, potash fertilizer or compound fertilizer should be applied to cultivate strong seedlings and speed up their growth. In addition, in the management, we should pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, Sakya fruit trees pest watering, the disease is mainly root rot, we should do a good job in prevention and control measures.

4. Pruning

When the plant grows to a certain extent, it should be pruned in time, which can not only make its growth sturdy, but also increase its beauty, and make the fruit more fat. when pruning, it is usually pruning, leaving 2-3 sturdy branches as the main branch. also leave 2-3 side branches on the main branch, so as to prune repeatedly to promote its branching, and when planting in the south, it is necessary to control the height of the plant so as not to be affected by typhoon climate. Cause unnecessary losses, and in rainy periods, it is necessary to cultivate the soil in time to prevent stagnant water in the roots.
