Best quality and high yielding apples are produced through grafting. Seed propagation is used for rootstock production. The most common apple variety grafted locally is the famous Wambugu Apple. Other apple varieties grown in Kenya are winter banana, top red, brae burn etc
Apples require a lot of moisture during the flowering and fruiting stage. Therefore, if you are growing apples in the hotter regions of Kenya, you will need to irrigate your trees. However, keep in mind that excess water around the root zone will encourage disease outbreak
and thus low crop yield. The best method of irrigating apples is through drip irrigation. Drip Irrigation for apples is the most ideal because it is precise and minimizes over water logging.
Wambugu apples do well in all types of soils and in many weather conditions apart from the swampy areas, that’s why they are on high demand from across the world

Meyer Lemon
They are not pure Lemons but a cross between lemon and oranges that originated from China. They have sweet, thin-skinned fruits that are smaller and more round than regular lemons. The trees have small thorns or are nearly thornless and grow 2 - 3 metres tall.

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

#Curfew
#Naivas
#Farming
#biodiversity
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.

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
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.

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.

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 .
