Brazil nut is an evergreen tree that belongs to the Lecitis family. Brazil nut is a valuable fruit tree that produces fruits containing nuts.
Brazil nuts can be grown in a variety of regions, but they grow best in regions with tropical and subtropical climates.
1. Variety selection
When choosing a Brazil nut variety, consider the following factors:
- Purpose of cultivation. For cultivation as a fruit tree, varieties with high yields are selected.
- Size. Brazil nuts come in dwarf, medium and large varieties. For growing in small gardens, dwarf or medium-sized varieties are selected.
2. Soil preparation
Brazil nut is a light-loving and moisture-loving plant, so to grow it you need to prepare a sunny and humid place.
The soil for planting Brazil nuts should be fertile and well-drained.
3. Landing
Brazil nut seedlings are planted in the spring, when the threat of frost has passed.
Seedlings are planted in planting holes with a depth and diameter of 60-70 cm. A drainage layer of broken brick or crushed stone is poured into the planting hole, then a layer of fertile soil. The seedlings are planted so that the root collar is at soil level. After planting, the seedlings are watered abundantly.
4. Plant care
Brazil nut is an unpretentious plant, but to obtain good growth and development, the following measures must be taken:
- Watering. Brazil nut is a moisture-loving plant, so it needs to be watered regularly. Water the plants 2-3 times a week, using 10-15 liters of water per 1 m².
- Feeding. During the period of active plant growth, 2-3 fertilizing with mineral fertilizers is carried out. The first feeding is carried out in the phase of 3-4 true leaves, the second - in the flowering phase, the third - in the fruiting phase.
- Trimming. To form the crown of the Brazil nut, pruning is carried out. Pruning is carried out in the spring, before the buds open.
5. Harvest
Brazil nut fruits ripen in September-October. The fruits are harvested when they are fully ripe.
Some tips for growing Brazil nuts
- To get an earlier harvest of Brazil nuts, you can grow them from seeds. Brazil nut seeds are sown in late winter - early spring in containers with fertile soil. After sprouts appear on the seed, they are planted in open ground.
- To increase the yield of Brazil nuts, you can plant it next to other fruit trees. Fruit trees create a favorable microclimate for the growth of Brazil nuts.
If you follow the agricultural techniques for growing Brazil nuts, you can get a good harvest of tasty and healthy nuts.
