To obtain annual harvests, successful cultivation of pawpins, it is necessary to optimally choose a planting site, observe agricultural techniques. Let's get acquainted with the proper care of an exotic plant
Better conditions
For the first 2 years, young seedlings are shaded from direct sunlight. Mature, well-rooted trees like open, sunny places, sheltered from the wind. Poorly tolerates waterlogging of the soil, the proximity of groundwater.
It is easy to put up with a heavy substratum by installing a fine gravel drainage layer at root depth. It works better on loose fertile mixtures with a slightly acidic reaction of the medium.
Frost resistance of most varieties at 25 degrees. When freezing, it is restored from the underlying shoots.
Landing
Planting scheme for dwarf options 2 by 2 meters. Tall specimens are placed every 2, 5-3 in a row, 4-5 meters of row spacing.
Humus or compost, sand, wood ash are added to the prepared pits. All components are thoroughly mixed. Moisten the soil. Spread out the roots of the seedling. They cover it with earth, deepening the root collar by 5-10 cm, depending on the type of soil (on light soils, the indicator is less).
Seal from above. Sprinkle with water. When shrinking, add a substrate. Drive in a stake. Tied up with twine. After rooting, after 2 years, the support is removed.
Fruiting
The pistil stigma matures earlier than the anthers; therefore, pollination within one flower is physiologically impossible. Cross-pollinated plants of the rejuvenating banana require planting at least 2 copies of different varieties. This technique allows you to increase the likelihood of tying more full-fledged fruits.
Low-growing trees are additionally pollinated by hand or hang insect baits to attract their attention during flowering. Azimina bears fruit on last year's increments.
Care
At first, the seedling needs frequent moisture. During drought 1-2 times a week. In the fall, watering is stopped, the plant goes into dormancy. Mulching the trunk circle with peat or sawdust reduces evaporation. Surface loosening of the soil to a depth of 1 cm, removing weeds, retains moisture inside.
Once every 3 years, the soil is enriched with the introduction of rotted manure. Complex mineral fertilizers are used at the beginning of the season, in the flowering phase.
In early spring, cut off dry, frozen branches. In tall varieties, the central shoot is limited.
In the south, the banana tree winters well without shelter. In the Middle Lane, spruce branches are laid around the trunk, tying it with twine. The crown is protected with a thick non-woven material in 2 layers. Plants are covered with snow as much as possible. At the beginning of spring, the snow cover is gradually removed. Spunbond is removed in April.
Cooking
Most gourmets consume fresh azimine. The short shelf life of the crop can be extended by preserving the fruit, making preserves, jams, and jam.
Jam. Seeds are removed from the pulp, fruits are cut into small pieces. Stirred in a 1: 1 ratio with sugar. For long-term use, simmer for 20 minutes after boiling twice with an interval of 10 hours. Placed in hot sterilized jars, under iron lids.
To prepare raw jam without heat treatment, the pulp is chopped with a blender to a puree state. Mix with a double portion of sugar. Placed in jars under nylon lids. Store in a cellar or refrigerator for no more than a year.
The fruit of the banana tree includes sweet salads, ice cream, cream, yoghurts, baked goods (cakes, pastries, muffins), and pie fillings.
By following the above recommendations for the care of a rejuvenating banana, you can get a good harvest of healthy, tasty fruits. Pamper loved ones with sweet desserts, unusual dishes from exotic fruits.
