Ambarella
沙梨／太平洋桲
Spondias dulcis
Family: Anacardiaceae
Growing conditions
Full sun and well-drained soil. Water young plants and during extended dry weather; avoid saturated roots.
Pruning
Tip young shoots to build a low branching framework. After harvest, remove dead and crossing branches and reduce overly tall shoots selectively. Support fruit-heavy branches rather than leaving long weak limbs.
Fertilizing
Top-dress with mature compost and give a fruit-tree feed during active growth. Split applications to match tree size and fruit load; reduce nitrogen if foliage is vigorous but flowering is poor.
Key management
A dwarf cultivar is easier to manage in a small orchard. Inspect for fruit flies and scale, maintain mulch away from the trunk, and remove fallen fruit.
Harvest
Pick full-sized fruit as the green skin begins turning yellow. Allow eating-ripe fruit to soften slightly.
