- Fertilizing is important for young trees. Use a complete fertilizer, such as 6-6-6 or 8-3-9, every six to eight weeks during the growing season. Organic fertilizers like chicken or cow manure can also be beneficial.
- Water the plants two to three times a week during the active growing season, but be careful not to overwater as it can cause root rot.
4. Pollination
Sugar apple trees can start producing flowers as early as six months from seed. Hand-pollination may be necessary for fruit set.
Collect male pollen in the morning and use it to pollinate female flowers during their receptive period.
5. Pruning and Maintenance
Pruning should be done in winter or after the fruits have been harvested. This involves cutting the outer branches to encourage dense growth and potentially increase fruit production.
Keep an eye out for pests like aphids, scales, and mealybugs, as they can harm the health of your tree.
