1-Time for planting and seed

The best time to plant rambutan is at the beginning of the rainy season, when the soil is moist and reduces watering. As for the seed that he planted, it was a variety with a lot of flesh, sweet taste, the flesh does not stick to the seeds, the fruit has long hairs as a variety Brought from Thailand.

2-Land preparation and planting

Uncle planted in the forest area. Before planting, he cleared the soil, cleared the weeds and plowed the trees and plowed 2-3 times to make the soil Emerges well.

In planting, he dug a hole half a meter square and half a meter deep. In one pit, he put 4 bags of fertilizer for cows and left a distance of 6 meters from each pit.

After digging the pit, he planted the purchased rambutan seedlings in the pit and watered it.

3-Care

When he was young, he watered, especially when it was not raining (once a week). When the rambutan is big, it is watered every two weeks or once a month (in the dry season).

Fertilization is done once or twice a year. In the second and third years, he applied 4-5 bags of cow dung. To apply fertilizer, he dug a trench around the tree at a distance of 0.5 m, then covered the trench with soil. Back.

From the fourth year onwards, he applied 5-6 bags of animal manure. For the method of applying fertilizer, do the same as in the first year by cutting a groove around the stem (1 meter from the base).
