🥥 🌴 Here's a concise summary of coconut tree planting facts: 1. Location: Coconut trees thrive in tropical climates, requiring warm temperatures, ample sunlight, and well-draining soil, preferably near coastal areas. 2. Spacing: When planting coconut trees, spacing is crucial. They should be spaced about 25 to 30 feet apart to ensure proper growth and access to sunlight. 3. Depth: Coconut seeds should be planted shallowly, approximately 2-4 inches deep in the soil, with the pointed end facing downwards. 4. Watering: Coconut trees require regular watering, especially during the initial stages of growth. They prefer moist but not waterlogged soil. 5. Maintenance: Regular fertilization and occasional pruning of dead or damaged fronds are essential for healthy coconut tree growth. 6. Pollination: Coconut trees are primarily pollinated by wind and insects, so planting multiple trees can increase the chances of successful pollination and fruit production. 7. Patience: Coconut trees typically take 3 to 7 years to bear fruit, so patience is key for those cultivating them. However, once established, they can produce coconuts for decades. #coconut #coconuttree #coconutfacts #agriculture #agriculturefacts

Spring is in the air and we know you are getting excited to get out and plant your spring cover crops! Most regions across the country are experiencing higher than average soil temperatures, which means planting really could come sooner compared to past years. While an early planting may seem like a great idea, be sure to evaluate all the variables that could affect your spring planting success. Check out our latest blog post to make  sure you have all the information you need before putting seed in the ground. https://lnkd.in/gDsniQ2N

Are you looking for some helpful tips on planting? Look no further than the OPDT! We've got you covered with some great #plantingtips. Here are a few to make your planting experience easier: remember that for the best germination results, your soil temperatures should be between 15-20˚C. It's also important to plant shortly after the first autumn rains when there's enough soil moisture for germination. Finally, make sure you choose optimal planting dates between 15 April and 15 May, based on your particular rainfall area. Stay tuned for more tips on planting different crops! #canola #plantingtips

🍒Cherry trees are typically covered during the flowering and fruit development phases, but they are left uncovered in winter to allow for the chilling requirements of the buds to be fulfilled.🔧 Polytunnels offer several advantages, as they protect flowers and fruit, which in turn improves fruit quality, consistency of marketable production, and overall yields. Additionally, the flowering and harvesting period of cherries becomes more predictable.🌱💧 https://lnkd.in/eDJXW8vt

By planting wildflowers near orchards, you increase populations of native pollinators and pest eating insects in those orchards! #ernstseeds #pollinators #meadows #pollinatorfriendlymeadows #agriculture #pollinator #stewardship #conservation #ecology

There is something really interesting to be observed in this photo of an abandoned olive cultivar in Southern Greece ! If you look carefully you can see the growth from the ground up is different from the canopy growth. This is because the lower growth is that of a wild olive ( Olea europea sylvestris ) while the canopy is a cultivated species. Most cultivated olive trees are grafted onto a wild olive root stock, as the wild species is much more resilient to the testing conditions. But when abandoned and pruning stops, the tree slowly starts to revert to the wild species - slowly putting up growth that will eventually revert the whole tree back to it’s original wild form ! There’s something deeply satisfying about this natural process - a gradual return to the stronger natural wild form of growth. Eventually the rewilded tree will produce olives high in polyphenols and without the need for irrigation. #biodiversity #olive #olivegrove #olivetree #restoration #reforestation #rewild #naturebasedsolutions #gaia #ecosystems #syntropic #permaculture

New Post: Ultimate Guide to Timothy Grass Care: All You Need to Know about Growing Timothy Grass - https://lnkd.in/eU8knUEX Introduction to Timothy Grass Timothy grass (Phleum pratense) is a prominent perennial grass species, well-regarded for its agricultural and ecological importance. Originating in Europe and temperate regions of Asia, it has established a significant presence across various parts of North America and other regions, owing to its adaptability and versatile use. The grass owes its name to Timothy Hanson, who has been credited with promoting its agricultural benefits in the United States during the 18th century. Physically, Timothy grass is marked by its distinctive cylindrical, spike-like flower heads. These spikes can grow up to 16 inches in height, presenting […]
