It will be necessary, for example, to protect the plantation against weather, fire, insects and fungi, and animals. A variety of cultural treatments also may be required to meet the purpose of the plantation. Surinam cherry Fruit Facts & Uses A fruit that can make you delight with its real and delectable taste. The Surinam Cherry is the most widely known of the edible-fruited Eugenia species, because of its great adaptability. The shrub or tree, to 25 ft (7.5 m) high, has slender, spreading branches and resinously aromatic foliage. The opposite leaves, bronze when young, are deep-green and glossy when mature; turn red in cold, dry winter weather. Surinam cherry, also known as Eugenia uniflora, is a tropical fruit with a unique appearance and taste. Indigenous to South America and the Caribbean, it has become popular worldwide for its flavor, and culinary uses. Surinam Cherry Care Info FERTILIZING Cherry fruit plants grown as protective hedge are hardly manured or fertilized. Manuring, however used as 10-15 kg well-rotten farmyard manure or compost/plant and should be applied before flowering. WATERING AND WEED CONTROL Cherry trees should be watered regularly until fully established. In dry western climates, water mature trees deeply at least every one or two weeks. Desert gardeners may have to water more frequently. Mulch the soil around the trees to conserve moisture. Weeding is also very important. Remove all weeds 1.5 meter around the plant. PRUNING AND SHAPE OF TREE Surinam cherry seedlings grow slowly; some begin to fruit when 2 years old; some may delay fruiting for 5 or 6 years, or even 10 if in unfavorable situations. They are most productive if unpruned, but still produce a great many fruits when close-clipped in hedges. Quarterly feeding with a complete fertilizer formula promotes fruiting. The plant responds quickly to irrigation, the fruit rapidly becoming larger and sweeter in flavor after a good watering. PEST & DISEASE CHERRY TREES Surinam cherries are highly attractive to Caribbean and Mediterranean fruit flies, but the incidence of infestation was found to vary greatly in Israel from location to location, some plants being unmolested. The foliage is occasionally attacked by scale insects and caterpillars. PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS Prioritize your tree planting with the sun’s direction to maximize shade by planting on the southwestern and western sides of your home. The Surinam cherry grows in almost any type of soil–sand, sandy loam, stiff clay, soft limestone–and can even stand waterlogging for a time, but it is intolerant of salt. For Commercial Plantation, the planting distance for fence/ hedge should be 1-1.5 m, requiring 300-400 plants for planting along the boundary of one hectare field. If an exclusive planting is to be raised, a planting distance of 2 m x 2 m should be enough In a home garden generally we are planting one or two karonda trees along with other species of fruit plants. So it is better to keep minimum 3 meter distance from other plants to plant an karonda tree. 100% sunlight is best but can grow up to 50 % shade During dry weather, initially water the plant once in two days and after one month of planting water every 7 to 10 days during the first year. Do not use chemical fertilizer or any other chemicals on your newly planted trees. Such products will kill your young trees. If needed you can add chemical fertilizers in small quantity (generally below 100gm) after two to three months of planting with sufficient irrigation Do not over water or allow rain water so much that you see standing water in the pit area of the plant. It will damage the plants roots and results the die of your plant. Review: Healthy sapling - Real N healthy sapling Review: Super slow growth - The product does not suit for every climate.

When we received it it was a very small and tiny plant so initially we thought it will not survive and we should return this plant but since there were no return policy available so we have planted it in one of our flowerpot . Today in just 1.3 years it has become a big and started producing fruits. You can see the small fruits are popping up.
