Good Day All,

Please how many months from planting date does it take for ugu to develop a mature pod, i want to leave my ugu farm for the pods so that i don't have to buy pods for my next planting and i was advised to stop harvesting the leaves after cutting twice for a better chance of developing pods, but i need to know how long it will stay before i can get the pods to know if it will be more cost effective to produce my own pods for planting than to buy pods.

Also is there any special care than the regular maintenance that is required for pods to develop? Like adjustment in manure/fertilizer application, frequency of irrigation, staking, etc any thing that will increase my chances of getting bigger pods.

Please help I'm new in farming and your answers will be a great source of help and encouragement.

This is good work, friend.
