Cultivation guide

Planting time in the autumn of each year, first to transplant the hole into the organic fertilizer, and then to fill in 30cm of soil, with foot compaction, after the planting of a watering.

After planting, water every 7 days. After transplanting for about 40 days, all seedlings survive and enter the sapling management stage.

The sapling period lasts about four years from transplant survival to the first fruit.

In the second and third years after planting, the buds should be removed in time if they grow.

When irrigating, ensure that the soil moisture reaches more than 90%.

Intertillage and weeding were carried out several times a year, mainly shallow tillage with a depth of 5-10cm.

Apply topdressing fertilizer from may to August every year, and apply 0.2-0.4kg of compound fertilizer to each tree.

In the first year, when the young tree grows to 80cm, the trunk is fixed, the top of the seedling is cut off, and the rest is cultivated into the trunk.

Select 3 or 4 healthy side branches from the remaining trees and grow them into main branches.

Every spring, before the fruit trees sprout, the fruit trees should be pruned to remove the sick and weak branches.

Water adult pistachios once the soil thaws in spring.

To promote tree germination.

Other irrigation time in April - July, watering once a month.

During the fruiting period, the demand for various nutrient elements increases in happy fruit trees. In early June, 50kg organic fertilizer should be applied to each plant, and 0.5-1.5kg compound fertilizer should be applied at the same time.

Soil moisture is maintained at more than 60%.

The fruit usually grows in July and ripens in August and September.
