WHAT I WANT TO PLANT

The type of plant I want to grow is Sugar Cane and Guava Fruit Tree because these are just a few plants I enjoy eating. The best way to grow a sugar cane is by cutting the uppermost parts of a young sugar cane because it’s not grown from a seed. You must cut into them 15cm with a saw. This then gives you the seed pieces known as setts. The best way to grow Guava is by starting with a young Guava tree, but you can also use guava seeds they germinate around 2-3 weeks but can take longer like 8 weeks. But sometimes the seeds won’t even grow a tree. Well with sugar cane you have to choose a enclosed space because it’s known to spread in different areas so it’s good to control it from growing all over the place. With guava trees you really don’t need to worry about it spreading all over the place, but be prepare for the fruit it will start to produce when its matured. You don’t need to different plants to help produce it, you will only need honey bees because once its start flowering up the bees pollinate it then the seed lilts will start growing fruit. Sugar cane doesn’t really have a certain season or month it particular, but with a worm climate and lots of water it can grow fast. Guava trees like being in the sun and prefers the dry and humid climates but in the winter and cooler seasons it bears really good fruit. The type of soil sugar cane needs to grow doesn’t need to fertile soil it grows pretty good if kept warm, it isn’t difficult to grow. Sugar cane is a heavy feeder of nutrients because it’s root system is shallow and fibrous, therefore, fertigation is recommended for higher nutrient availability and use efficiency. Guava will tolerate many types of soil, but it will produce a lot better in soil with high organic matter. It will not tolerate salty soils. Guava’s are heavy feeders because they benefit from the nutrients from the fertilizer. Mature trees may require as much as 1/2 pound actual nitrogen per year. Applying fertilizer monthly is prior to heavy pruning. I really don’t think I need anything like seeds because I can provide my own plants. I also don’t think I might not need any special fertilizers or amendments. I’m really confident with using anything around the environment to help with my planting. I say this because the type of plants I’m working with can pretty much handle and climate or soil. A interesting fact about sugar cane is that if you plant a field of sugarcane and then run through it lightly clothed . . . you’ll die because the leaves are so sharp. The place of origin of the guava is uncertain, but it is believed to be an area extending from southern Mexico into or through Central America. It has been spread by man, birds and other animals to all warm areas of tropical America and in the West Indies (since 1526).
