Where and when to plant Orbase 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.
