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 Magayon was about 18 years old and about 8 meters tall when it was registered. It bears all year, with fruit in July October. 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 Magayon 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.
