1. Well-Hardened Seedlings: Our seedlings are carefully hardened to adapt to outdoor conditions, ensuring they are robust and ready for planting.
2. High-Quality Varieties: We provide top-quality grafted Canistel seedlings, which produce fruit faster and have improved disease resistance compared to traditional seedlings.
3. Fast Growth and Early Yield: With proper care, our Canistel seedlings start bearing fruit within 3-4 years after planting, giving you quicker returns on your investment.
4. Suitable for Various Soils: Canistel trees are adaptable to a wide range of soil types, including well-drained sandy, loamy, and even slightly clayey soils.

🌞 Ideal Growing Conditions for Canistel:

• Climate: Canistel grows best in warm, tropical environments with plenty of sunlight. It is drought-tolerant once established but requires regular watering during its early stages of growth.
• Soil: It prefers well-drained soils rich in organic matter. Adding compost or well-rotted manure during planting will enhance soil fertility.
• Planting Spacing: Ensure you plant the seedlings with adequate spacing (about 5-7 meters apart) to allow for full growth and development of the tree canopy.
• Watering and Maintenance: Regular watering is crucial during the first few months, especially during dry periods. Once established, the tree requires less water and maintenance but will still benefit from mulching and occasional fertilization.

🍂 How to Plant Canistel/Egg Fruit Seedlings:

1. Prepare the Site: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball of the seedling.
2. Add Organic Matter: Mix the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to improve nutrient content.
3. Plant the Seedling: Place the seedling into the hole, ensuring the root collar is level with the soil surface. Backfill the hole with soil and water the plant thoroughly.
4. Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the seedling to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
5. Watering: Keep the soil moist during the first 6-12 months to encourage healthy root development.

🌱 Canistel/Egg Fruit Seedling Care:

• Fertilizing: Apply balanced fertilizers during the growing season to boost tree health and productivity.
• Pruning: Regularly prune the tree to maintain shape and allow for better air circulation, which helps prevent diseases.
