Instructions d'entretien

To care for Pouteria caimito, provide it with plenty of bright, direct sunlight and maintain a warm, humid environment. The tree prefers consistently wet soil, so water it regularly to keep the soil moist. It thrives in moderate to high temperatures and high humidity levels. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth.

Récolte

Pouteria caimito, commonly known as the abiu, is typically harvested when the fruit turns a bright yellow color, indicating ripeness. Harvesting is usually done by hand, using a pole with a cutter or a basket to gently detach the fruit from the tree to avoid damage. It is important to handle the fruit carefully as it has a delicate skin that can bruise easily. The best time to harvest is during the dry season to ensure the highest quality fruit. Post-harvest, the fruit should be stored in a cool, dry place and consumed relatively quickly as it has a short shelf life.

Sol

Pouteria caimito prefers well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Engrais

Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the tree every few months during the growing season to provide it with the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.

Rempotage

Repot young trees every 2-3 years to provide them with fresh soil and more space to grow. When repotting, choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Carefully remove the tree from its current pot, gently loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.

Propagation

Pouteria caimito can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. For seed propagation, plant the seeds in a well-draining soil mix and keep them moist until they germinate. For cuttings, take a healthy branch and plant it in a moist, well-draining soil mix. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until it establishes roots.

Taille

Prune Pouteria caimito regularly to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Remove any dead or diseased branches, and trim back any overgrown areas to promote better air circulation and light penetration.

Toxicité

Pouteria caimito is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. The fruit is edible and highly prized for its sweet flavor.

Supplémentaire

Pouteria caimito is a relatively low-maintenance tree once established, but it requires consistent care during its early growth stages. Ensure it receives adequate water, sunlight, and nutrients to thrive. The tree can also benefit from mulching to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
