If you know that the groundwater is close to the roots, you need to install a drainage system in the ground.
The seedling must be 2 years old, free from damage and disease. The best development is observed in those representatives whose root length is 20-25 cm. It is important to prepare a place for planting in advance. The dug hole should be about 100 cm deep and up to 60 cm wide. Organic fertilizers (humus, mullein or compost) are poured into it, in an amount of 7 kg. After 2 weeks, when all the nutrients have penetrated into the soil, the seedling can be planted. The roots are evenly distributed around the entire perimeter of the hole, covered with earth and carefully tamped. At a distance of 10 cm from the seedling, a metal peg should be placed, which will serve as a support. As the seedling develops, you need to increase the size of the peg to which you will tie the plant.
