How do you grow the brazil nut? Grafting or seed propagation is generally used

The brazil nut has high climate requirements; it likes to grow in a hot, humid climate environment, and requires soil that is deep and well-drained with a rich humus content. It is generally suitable for planting in Guangzhou, Taiwan, China, Hainan and Fujian, China and other places. The planting holes are about 30cm wide and deep, then about 20cm of farmyard manure is applied for planting. When digging the ground, it is best to use the pit-reclamation method.

1. Selection of planting site

The brazil nut has relatively high requirements for the temperature environment; it likes to grow in a hot, humid climate environment, and requires soil that is deep and well-drained with a rich humus content. It is generally suitable for planting in Guangzhou, Taiwan, China, Hainan and Fujian, China and other places. The planting holes are about 30cm wide and deep, then about 20cm of farmyard manure is applied for planting. When digging the ground, it is best to use the pit-reclamation method.

2. Propagation methods

The brazil nut is propagated separately by grafting and seed propagation. Graft propagation will bear fruit in a few years, but the fruit generally takes about 1 year to mature, and its yield is not high, while seed propagation takes about 12 years to bloom and bear fruit, and the fruit takes about 3 months or more to mature. This is also the reason most people are unwilling to plant the brazil nut.

3. Pruning branches and leaves

Among the young brazil nut trees, in order to promote the growth of the young tree's branches and leaves, the excess branches and leaves should be pruned clean. When it grows to a certain height, preparations should be made to cultivate the growth of the 2nd-level and 3rd-level main trunks and reserve branches, and the tree crown of the brazil nut tree also needs to be shaped. When the brazil nut tree bears fruit, it is necessary to control the spacing between the branches, and prune branches that are too dense or old and dead, so that they are well ventilated and bear more fruit.

4. Water and fertilizer management

To promote the growth of the brazil nut, after planting we need to carry out water and fertilizer management, applying fertilizer and watering many times to ensure the young tree's soil is moist and its growth nutrient needs are met. After the brazil nut bears fruit, depending on the growth situation, apply fertilizer during the growth period, flowering and fruiting period and ripening period, and also pay attention to maintenance fertilizer in the later period.
