Care Requirements

Below, you’ll find key tips tailored to this species’ requirements. Whether you’re new to plant care or have plenty of experience, these guidelines are here to support you in keeping your green companion healthy and vibrant.

  1. Planting:
    • Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.
    • Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth.
    • Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.
    • Ensure adequate spacing from other trees and structures to allow for the tree's mature size.
  2. Watering:
    • Water regularly during the growing season to keep the soil consistently moist.
    • Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
    • Once established, Kaki trees are somewhat drought-tolerant but will benefit from regular watering during dry periods.
  3. Pruning:
    • Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged wood.
    • Thin out crowded areas to improve air circulation and light penetration.
    • Remove any suckers or water sprouts to direct energy into fruit production.
  4. Fertilizing:
    • Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and fruit development.
    • Avoid excessive fertilization, which can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.
    • Reduce fertilization in the winter months or during periods of dormancy.
  5. Pest and Disease Control:
    • Kaki trees can occasionally suffer from pests such as aphids, scale insects, and spider mites; treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil if necessary.
    • Monitor for fungal diseases like leaf spot and fruit rot; ensure good air circulation and avoid waterlogged soil.
    • Regularly inspect the tree for signs of pests or disease and address issues promptly.
