Plant Care Guide

Ideal Plantation Locations

Milk Sapota trees thrive in warm, tropical climates with ample sunlight. They prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Suitable regions include coastal areas and tropical lowlands.

Planting & Gardening Instructions

1. Location: Choose a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
2. Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by digging a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Amend the soil with well-rotted organic matter like compost or manure.
3. Planting: Gently place the root ball in the hole, ensuring it is at the same level as the surrounding soil. Backfill with the prepared soil, firming gently.
4. Spacing: Plant multiple trees at a distance of 15-20 feet apart to allow for proper growth and development.

Watering

Water the tree deeply and regularly, especially during the initial establishment phase. Reduce watering frequency during the rainy season.

Fertilizers

Fertilize the tree every 2-3 months with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Apply organic fertilizers like compost tea or fish emulsion for optimal growth and fruit production.

Repotting Instructions

Re-potting is generally not necessary for established trees planted in the ground. However, if grown in containers, repot the tree every 2-3 years into a larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix.

Fruiting Season

The fruiting season typically occurs during the summer months, usually from June to August.
