When does it bear, and how much?

A registered tree variety is described from its mother tree, not from trial plots. The mother tree of Laysa was about 16 years old and about 10 meters tall when it was registered. Its record notes a yield of 17.58 kg. It bears fruit in June December. A grafted or marcotted tree bears years sooner than one grown from seed, and its yield climbs as the tree grows.

Where and when to plant Laysa pili

Bicol grows most of the pili. Pick a registered selection by kernel weight and the share of kernel in the nut, and plant grafted trees, because seedlings can turn out male. A registered tree variety is a selection from one proven mother tree, and only grafted, budded or marcotted plants carry its traits. A seedling grown from its seed can turn out quite different. So buy from a nursery accredited by the Bureau of Plant Industry, and ask which mother tree the scions came from. Before planting, get the field ready with our guide: Pagtatanim ng puno.

Before you buy planting material

  • Buy grafted or budded plants from an accredited nursery, with the variety name on the tag.
  • Ask your municipal agriculturist or nearby farmers how it did in your area last season.
  • Plant a few trees first if the variety is new to your area, before you fill the whole farm.
  • Write down the planting day, inputs and harvest, so you can compare varieties on your own ground. anee.io keeps these records for you.
