Where and when to plant Goyena R 13 rambutan
Pick a registered selection whose flesh comes off the seed cleanly, which buyers pay more for. Plant budded trees. 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.
