• Sowing Time: Plant your Chiku tree in early spring or late winter for the best results.
• Climate: Chiku plants thrive in a warm, subtropical to tropical climate. They require full sunlight and should be protected from strong winds and frost.
• Soil Requirements: Opt for well-draining soil enriched with organic compost. The ideal soil pH for Chiku is slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0-7.0).
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply, especially during dry spells, to support robust root development.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer (NPK 10-10-10) in early spring and mid-summer. Supplement with micronutrients like potassium and magnesium to boost fruit quality.
• Pruning: Regularly prune to remove dead or diseased branches and to shape the tree. This enhances air circulation and sunlight penetration. Best done in late winter or early spring.
• Pest Control: Watch out for pests such as fruit flies and aphids. Use organic solutions or neem oil for effective pest management.
• Fruiting Time: Grafted Chiku trees usually start bearing fruit within 2-3 years. The fruiting season is from May to September.
• Plant Height and Fruit Size: Mature Chiku trees can grow up to 30-40 feet tall. The fruits are medium-sized, typically 2-4 inches in diameter, with sweet, brown flesh.
