To plant lansones, also known as langsat, you will need to follow these steps:
Choose a location: Pick a spot in your garden that gets plenty of sunlight and has well-draining soil. Lansones prefer a slightly acidic soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5.
Prepare the soil: Dig a hole about twice the size of the lansones seedling, removing any debris and breaking up the soil to ensure proper drainage.
Plant the lansones: Gently remove the lansones seedling from its container and place it in the hole. The seedling should be planted so that the base of the trunk is level with the surrounding soil.
Backfill the hole: Fill the hole with the soil you removed earlier, and press down firmly to eliminate any air pockets.
Water the seedling: Water the seedling thoroughly to ensure that the soil is moist and to help the roots settle in.
Mulch: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the seedling.
Prune: Remove any damaged or diseased branches and leaves to promote healthy growth.
Care and maintenance: Lansones trees need regular watering and fertilizing during the growing season. Also, they should be protected from pests and diseases.
It's important to know that lansones trees take about 3-5 years to start bearing fruit, so be prepared to wait for it.
