Unlike most cash crops, the nut-bearing tree is environmentally resilient, hardy and is adapted to lower regions.

The Macadamia tree is native to Australia and was first introduced to Kenya in 1946 by Bob Harris.

The introduction of improved varieties of the crop has also been instrumental in the success of macadamia in the country
Macadamia is as precious as gold in the world of nuts. By 2011, only a few people knew that it was grown in Kenya.
In fact, Ksh 60 for a kilo was considered a favourable price, considering that just a few years back the nuts were retailing for Ksh 30 a kilo.

The crop is now retailing between Ksh150- Ksh200. High global demand for the crop has led to a local mad rush to growing it ImageImageImage
After so many years of barrenness and meager returns, production of the nuts has increased tremendously in the last decade from about 11,000 metric tonnes in 2009 to over 41,000 metric tonnes today

Most Grapes 🍇 rootstocks are adapted to many soil conditions. The selection of a suitable rootstock is based on the following criteria;

Resistance to Phytophthora root rot

Tolerance to drought and other soil conditions like low pH

Adaptation to soil depth and texture.

Resistance to crown gall Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This bacterium weakens vines by encouraging the production of large amounts of cytokinins and auxins that induce excessive cell division and elongation. ImageImage

Strawberry 🍓🍓 takes around 70 days to mature. Usually, fruits are ready for harvesting 4–6 weeks after blossoming and only the fully ripened (red) berries should be picked because they do not ripen after harvesting.

#The5thAt55 #tuesdaymotivations #Curfew ImageImageImageImage
Strawberries should picked in the morning when the fruits are cool and while dry because when wet, they mold quickly. Soon after harvesting, the berries should be stored unwashed in cool, dry place like in a refrigerator, where they can last for 5-7 days.
Strawberry farming does best in areas whose soil PH is 5.5 6-6.5. The soil should be well drained and weed-free. The crop thrives in hot climate and does not tolerate frost or extremely low temperatures.

The guava fruit is a highly palatable and nutritious tropical fruit with a pleasant flavor. It is abundant at moderate prices in Kenya. ... Guavas were reported to grow naturally by most (83.9%) respondents although 37% plant the guava tree

#StateHouse #mondaythoughts ImageImageImage
Guava trees grow rapidly and fruit in 2 to 4 years from seed. They live 30 to 40 years but productivity declines after the 15th year.

Trees are more commonly propagated via cuttings and layering
Despite the high production of guavas in the country, processing remains extremely low (3.1%) due to limited knowledge (74.8%) and lack of appropriate equipment (65.9%) leading to the fruit’s economic under exploitation.

🥝 Kiwi 🥝 will thrive in cool climate of the Kenyan highlands where temperatures sometime fall below 10℃. The plants also need a lot of water to thrive so the high amount of rainfall in these regions is ideal.

Loam soils that are well drained and containing a high amount of organic matter are the best. Kiwi plants do not tolerate too much water in the soils. If your soils are a bit compact and water takes a bit of time to drain off, you must plant the vines on raised beds
Perfect 🥰 and long-term gift for your friends and family this festive season .

Hass 🥑 is Green Gold.

Ideal spacing for planting them is 5 by 5 m.
150 avocado trees can therefore be planted in an acre.

Kenya, which is now the 8th largest avocado producer in the world, has experienced a 15% increase in 🥑 production over the last year.

🥑 in Kenya are mostly organically grown, with most farmers using compost and animal manure to fertilize their orchard hence requiring little crop protection. The equatorial climate allows avocado production to last throughout the year.

Hass Avocado 🥑 tree roots must be well fed with phosphorus fertilizer or well decomposed manure at the canopy area .

N/B Avoid feeding the stem , they do not feed through the stem .

Spread manure well and apply mulch to conserve moisture level.

The plants need alot of micro nutrients and energy through the leaves .

Apply Boron as a micro nutrient .It helps flowers in holding and prevents abortion of flowers during fertilization .

Calcium is the next important nutrient for cell multiplication need .
