The seedling is placed on the very top of the resulting mound. It is important that the root collar remains on the surface, otherwise the plant will die.

Do not forget to bind the seedling to the cola on several sides, because under natural influences the tree can become deformed and remain so until full maturation. About 30 liters of water are poured under the tree. After a couple of days, the same soil can be fertilized with sawdust, humus.

Any tree, even a representative of this unpretentious variety, need the right care. This will ensure good flowering and a rich harvest.
