Spondias purpurea requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in warm temperatures and moderate humidity. Water the plant when the soil is almost completely dry, but avoid waterlogging. The tree can tolerate some drought once established.Ernte
Spondias purpurea, commonly known as the purple mombin or jocote, is typically harvested when the fruits are fully ripe, which is indicated by their deep red or purple color. Harvesting is usually done by hand, either by picking the fruits directly from the tree or by shaking the branches so that the ripe fruits fall to the ground. It is important to handle the fruits gently to avoid bruising. The best time to harvest is during the dry season when the fruits are at their peak ripeness. Post-harvest, the fruits should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality.Boden
