La Granja #1 Santol (La Granja santol): Fruit and Tree Characteristics
La Granja #1 is a registered santol variety, also sold or known as La Granja santol or NSIC Sn 01. It was registered with the National Seed Industry Council in 2001 as NSIC 2001 Sn 01. Its record notes a yield of 1,200 kg.
The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.
What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.
So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.

Where and when to plant La Granja #1 santol
Bangkok santol is big and sweet. Pick a selection by fruit size and a thick, sweet rind. 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.
