Cultivation
It is a tree of humid tropical regions and it grows from sea level of elevation to a height of 3,000 feet above sea level. It grows better in deep and organic grounds, and with great distribution of rainfall throughout the year. Although, it tolerates long periods of dry season.
The distance of planting from each other is 20 to 25 feet. It requires fertilization two times a year so it can grow better.Normally, seed trees produce fruit after 5 or 7 years of age, while this on produces in 3 or 4.
The santol is a very productive tree. A mature tree can produce between 18,000 and 24,000 fruits per year. In Puerto Rico it produces in the months of August and September.
