Last Fruiting Season (The first) I had only Four Coconuts.

This season ( the Flower clutches appeared in late November 2022) I can see almost 60 Coconuts already and counting...

And yes I added Table salt some Feet away from the Plant in a circle.

Cheers!

bennito:

Out of curiosity, the 60 Coconuts are of how many coconut trees?

rainmoredays:
Hello Masters

Can I add salt and manure at the same time?

Lukuluku69:


One Tree!

Very funny. Coconut Trees are super prolific given the right conditions.


It takes a while to fruiting stage but once they are, they surely can produce.

bennito:
very commendable

Lukuluku69:


A Tree can give you minimum 60-70 Coconuts a year with the right conditions.

But to reach that stage takes a minimum of 3-4 years with the earliest of them ( The Dwarf Specie) while in some other hybrid it is 5-6 years.

Then they will continue fruiting for close to 40-50 years and even longer.

My Dad lived to be 92 years, there is a Coconut Tree standing at my Ancestral home till date, my father told me his Mum planted it when he (my Dad) was about 25 years!

Good Day Sir,

Just Chicken poo and lot of water. See the result

bennito:

Can I have ur number, want to make some inquiries.

Lukuluku69:


Hey you!

Would have love to give my digits but I don't want that on a Public Forum!

But be sure that I will answer any query/queries on here to the best of my ability and limited knowledge on this.

Cheers!

And I am sure the Op would too.

rainmoredays:
Sorry for asking, where did you this farmland, and like how?

Hi OP
Please, I wanted to go into coconut farming too. I'm in the process of getting the farmland, and I want to ask if it's possible to plant around August. Also, how can I get the hybrid varieties seedlings of about 300 pieces?
Thank

Nice to hear! Yes you can plant in August after the break and it all depends on where you are based. I have seen and replied your message. Yes we can supply you the hybrid if you want.

Good Day Sir,

bennito:

I heard from a relative into Agriculture that Chiken poo can be risky when wrongly applied. Plz how best to make use of Chiken poo for manure before planting, during planting and after planting for coconut, Plantain and orange

Lukuluku69:


Chicken Poo is at its best when dried. You might not have the luxury of drying them out considering space and time.

The other disadvantage of Chicken poo that I know of is the fact that if you have chickens around, it usually kill off Chicken when they are still hound when the pick on Maggots from Chicken poo or any poo when they are still young ( between 0-2months)

As for Farming, Chicken poo is one of the BEST. It is organic, no danger of contaminations to ground water etc.

You can apply Chicken poo anytime and everytime, before plantation and after it.

bennito:

Thanks for the prompt response.
How often do I need to apply them, is it once or every month or how?
Can you please send me on anekwebenedict@gmail.com. I need a practical farmer to guide me. Just starting.

Lukuluku69:


The frequency really doesn't matter as long as you have them. They are organic (Dried or Wet Poo) they eventually turn to the soil albeit a RICH ONE.

And I am not a Farmer perse, just an hobby for now. Staying in Lagos can't really make a Farmer out of most of us. Just an hobby for now.

Can't remember the Last time I opened my Yahoo mail! Opened sometimes in 2000! I don't do Mails for now.

umuna:
We recently acquired another 5 acres of farmland for coconut and plantain farm and we have started prepare our seedlings for this farming year.

Emmah123:


Do you sell hybrid coconut fruit that hasn't been dehusked? I will like to grow my own seedlings.

Antibettings:
I need coconut too

umuna:


What quantity do you need?

umuna:


What we have now on ground is dwarf fruit with bigger seeds.

umuna:


There are grasscutters. I noticed they kept attacking just 4 among my coconuts.

To save the young coconut from grasscutter attacks, get wire, cute some woods and make a triangular pen round the coconut.

I will make a video of this once I visit my farm.

bennito:

Op, still hoping to see the video plz

bennito:
plz which one is Fruit? How does it look?

Antibettings:

I need 10 of those I can plant
Thanks

Emmah123:


How long does it take the dwarf fruit to germinate and mature to seedling ready for transplanting?
