How to Plant & Grow Sugar Cane Jujube Trees

Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun is required, with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day to ensure optimal growth and fruiting.
Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly alkaline soil (pH 7.0-8.0). Enrich the soil with organic matter for optimal growth.
Spacing 🌳: Space trees 10-15 feet apart to allow for proper growth and good air circulation.
Mature Size 🌳: The Sugar Cane Jujube Tree grows to a mature height of 12-20 feet, making it suitable for medium to large-sized gardens and orchards.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Soil 🧑‍🌾: Choose a sunny location with slightly alkaline, well-drained soil. Amend with compost to improve fertility and soil structure.
2️⃣ Dig a Hole 🕳️: Dig a hole that is twice the size of the root ball to allow room for the roots to spread and establish.
3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.
4️⃣ Backfill & Water 💧: Fill the hole with soil, pressing gently to eliminate air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots.
5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch around the base of the tree to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

Watering 💧: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year of planting. Once established, water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
Pruning ✂️: Prune annually to remove dead or damaged wood, and shape the tree for better airflow and fruit production.
Fertilizing 🍃: Use Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to encourage strong root growth. For mature trees, apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to support fruit production.
Protection 🛡️: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect young trees from pests, weather, and animals 🌳🛡️.
