Deep-rooted evergreen tree
High potassium and calcium demand
Sensitive during flowering and fruiting
Key traits
Improves
Soil structure, aggregation, and aeration, particularly in heavier soils;
Reduces
Physiological fruit drop associated with nutrient or water stress
Supports
Healthy flowering, fruit set, and yield stability under high nutrient and water demand
How Nando helps

Cultivation
focus:
Managing alternate bearing; preventing excessive fruit drop, ensuring good soil aeration and drainage, balanced micronutrient nutrition (especially boron)

Common
challenges:
Phytophthora root rot exacerbated by poor drainage/asphyxiation, significant fruit drop (physiological), alternate bearing cycles; boron deficiency impacting pollination and fruit set
