How to Plant Mangosteen Trees

1. Choose soil and apply fertilizer

When planting mangosteen trees, you should choose a place with deep soil, easy management and transportation, and a convenient water source. Before planting, clear the weeds, dig a hole about 30 cm deep, apply fertilizer (human and animal manure is best), and dig drainage ditches.

2. Clean the whip and keep the mother bamboo

After planting, loosen the soil and clean the bamboo shoots around July and August every year. When loosening the soil, remove the old and weak bamboo shoots. After removing them, apply fertilizers in time to accelerate the growth of new bamboo shoots. In the second year after planting mangosteen, you should start to retain the mother bamboos, about 600 bamboos per acre.

3. Watering and pest control

After raising the mother bamboo, you should also pay attention to watering the mangosteen, because it likes a humid environment. If there is dry soil on the ground, water it in time, but make sure there is no water accumulation on the ground. During its growth period, it is easy to develop orpiment disease, which requires timely treatment and spraying of pesticides, otherwise the fruit trees will be damaged and the yield will be affected.
