EINZELHEITEN

Pflegehinweise
Mammea americana requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in warm, humid conditions typical of tropical climates. The tree prefers consistently wet soil and should be watered regularly to maintain moisture. It is important to provide moderate temperatures and high humidity to mimic its natural habitat.
Ernte
Mammea americana, commonly known as the mammee apple, typically takes about a year from flowering to fruit maturity. Harvesting should be done when the fruits are fully ripe, which is indicated by a change in color from green to a yellowish or orange hue. The fruits should be carefully hand-picked to avoid damage, as they are relatively large and heavy. It is important to handle the fruits gently to prevent bruising. Harvesting is usually done during the dry season to ensure the best quality of the fruit. Post-harvest, the fruits should be stored in a cool, dry place to extend their shelf life.
Boden
The mamey apple tree prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A soil mix rich in organic matter is ideal. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral, around 6.5.
Dünger
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 to support the tree's growth. Fertilize during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to provide essential nutrients.
Umtopfen
Repot young trees every 2-3 years to accommodate their growing root system. Choose a larger pot with good drainage and fresh, nutrient-rich soil. Repotting is best done in the early spring before the growing season begins.
Vermehrung
Mammea americana can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be planted in a warm, humid environment and kept moist until germination. Cuttings can be taken from mature trees and rooted in a suitable growing medium.
Beschneidung
Pruning is necessary to maintain the tree's shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. Prune during the dormant season or after fruiting to encourage healthy growth and fruit production.
Toxizität
Mammea americana is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, as with any plant, it is advisable to avoid consuming any parts of the plant other than the fruit without proper knowledge.
Zusätzlich
The mamey apple tree is relatively low-maintenance once established but requires consistent care during its early growth stages. Regular monitoring for pests and diseases is recommended to ensure the tree remains healthy and productive.
