Do you like spinach? If you do, try growing a Chaya tree!. Not only it's easy to grow, it's also has all kinds of health benefits.
Spinach Tree Growing Tips:
Best time to plant: When night temperatures are consistently 50F and expected to rise in the next month or so. (Spring for most places).
Sun: Full sun
Winter: Frost sensitive but as long as your tree is rooted in ground, it will come back in the spring. If your ground freezes during winter this tree will not make it.
Root system: Vigorous shallow roots.
Tree structure: more like a shrub than a tree. It can grow between 8-15ft
Water: Water frequently when first planted in ground. Deep water when older. Drought tolerant. Don't expect it to grow if you don't water.
Fertilization: Any organic material such as compost will work.
Container grown: Not recommended long term. (watch video to learn why). Patreon: patreon.com/QCTropicals (Exclusive perks!)
