Mr. Nong Chi Khiem said, many people have the opportunity to open farms in Long Thanh, Dong Nai, buy from him more than 10,000 seedlings to plant. Recently, he also provided a large amount of myrtle seedlings for a golf course in Bac Giang to decorate the landscape. 

Or a guy who opened a farm for visitors to visit Lam Dong also bought his seedlings to plant, up to now, the area of ​​the growing Rhodomyrtus Tomentosa is more than 1 ha. Especially with other provinces, myrtle only bears fruit in about 3 months a year, from June to August of the lunar calendar. As for Lam Dong, the climate and soil are suitable, so myrtle trees can flower, with results all year round.

Although living strongly and resiliently in the mountains, without care and bathing, myrtle still blooms evenly, giving sweet fruit. But if you dig the correct Rhodomyrtus Tomentosa of that forest to the city to plant and take care of, it is not certain that the tree will live and give flowers and results. Why?

Mr. Nong Chi Khiem said that the land for growing myrtle should be well ventilated and well-drained. Myrtle does not need much watering. The habit of many city growers is to like to water, this can cause the tree to become waterlogged and easily die. Not just eating Rhodomyrtus Tomentosa fruit, sowing seeds will grow into a Rhodomyrtus Tomentosa tree for me to plant and watch the flowers. 

Rhodomyrtus Tomentosaultaneously, myrtle is not suitable for extracting branches, cutting branches for nursery into the ground. According to Mr. Khiem, the seedling selection step is very important, the seedlings have been researched and nurtured by the gardener, thereby allowing the seedling to grow better, with a more sustainable vitality … Follow Thanh Nien
