Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: No specific preparation required, but soaking seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours before planting can improve germination rates.

Sowing: 

Sow seeds directly into well-prepared soil or seed trays, spacing them evenly. Cover lightly with a thin layer of soil or sand, about 1/8 inch deep.

Germination: 

Germination typically occurs within 14-28 days under optimal conditions of soil moisture and temperature (around 75-85°F or 24-29°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting: 

When seedlings are about 6 inches tall and have developed a strong root system, they can be transplanted to their permanent location. Ensure to space trees 10-15 feet apart to accommodate their mature size.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water young trees regularly to establish them. Mature trees are drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional deep watering during prolonged dry periods.
Pruning: Prune to remove any damaged or dead branches and to shape the tree as desired.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring it does not touch the trunk to prevent rot.

Happy gardening!
