Organic fertilizers not only provide nutrients to plants gradually, but they also improve soil conditions.

Planting Instructions
PLANT THE RIGHT TREE AT RIGHT PLACE Growing space both above and below ground should be considered when selecting a tree to plant. Too often allowances are not made for the increased size of the tree when it matures. Most problems can be avoided by selecting the proper tree species for the available planting space. GENERAL TIPS 1. Plant at least 3 meter from main overhead utility wires on street or to your home. 2. Plant at least 3 meter from a building. 3. Plant at least 1 meter from sidewalks, driveways, patios and fences. 4. Plant at least 6 meter from other large trees. 5. Plant at least 3 meter from small trees. 6. Prioritize your tree planting with the sun’s direction to maximize shade by planting on the southwestern and western sides of your home BASIC PARAMETERS TO PLANT A WATER APPLE 1.Soil : Trees are adapted to a wide variety of soil types, but prefer soils that are acid for best growth and fruiting. In highly alkaline soils, micronutrient deficiencies often develop that must be corrected by use of nutrient sprays 2. Planting Distance : For Commercial Plantation :- An average distance of 2.5 to 3 meter distance in between trees is sufficient for commercial cultivation of water apple. For Home Garden:-In a home garden generally we are planting one or two water apple fruit along with other species of fruit plants. So it is better to keep minimum 3 meter distance from other plants to plant a water apple. 3. Pit size : Minimum 60cm width X 60cm Breadth X 60cm depth 4. Sunlight :full sunlight is required for water apple. 5. Watering: 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. TEN TIPS FOR PLANTING A WATER APPLE: 1. Dig a hole/pit 3 to 4 times wider than the container (Normally 60cm X 60cm X 60cm is recommended). Fill the pit with top fertile soil to allow for proper root growth. Avoid clay type soil to refill the pit. 2. Add 250 gm Rock Phosphate or Born Meal and 3 to 5 kg Cow dung or compost in the top soil of the pit and mix it thoroughly (Thorough mixing of manure with soil is very important because direct contact of manure with the roots of the plant will cause the damage of roots and plant). 3. Make a small hole in the pit and carefully remove the plant from the container/pot or poly bag keeping the soil around the roots intact. Don‘t yank the plant out of the pot or poly bag as this can separate the roots from the tree. Poly bags can be easily removed by cutting it by a knife and pots can be removed easily by hitting slightly at the top edge of the pot. 4. Set the plant in the middle of the hole. Avoid planting the tree too deep. Keep the base of the trunk is slightly above ground level. Using some soil, secure the tree in a straight position, then fill and firmly pack the hole with the original soil, making sure there aren‘t any air pockets. 5. If the plant is Grafted or Budded make sure the grafted or budded portion of the plant is above the soil. Do not allow to touch the grafted or budded portion in the soil as it burns the skin of the plant. 6. Create a water-holding basin around the pit and give the plant a good watering. After the water has soaked in, spread protective mulch 2–4 inches deep in a 3-foot diameter area around the base of the tree, but not touching the trunk. Also provide a stich as a support for the plant, if needed. 7. The soil and mulch around your plant should be kept moist but not soggy. 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. 8. Remove any tags and labels from the tree as these will affect the tree as it grows. You may need to prune any broken or dead branches. For Budded or Grafted plants it is very important that do not allow the growth of off shoots under the grafted/budded portion. Allow the growth of budded/grafted scions only. 9. 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. 10. 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.
