• good illumination of the site;
• open space;
• remoteness of groundwater;
• loose and nutritious soil;
• optimal loam or sandy loam;
• acidity is neutral.

The southern and southeastern slopes are perfect for culture. The tree will not bear fruit in a closed lowland, does not feel good on peat, saline or carbonate soil.

With a lack of light, productivity suffers – the tree may bloom, but the fruit buds will be underdeveloped

The landing pit is prepared at least three weeks in advance. Depth up to 80 cm, width 1-1,4 m. All weeds and debris are removed, fertilizers are added to the fertile land:

• ¼ bucket of humus;
• potassium and phosphorus 1 tbsp. l.;
• if the soil is acidic – slaked lime or wood ash (one handful is enough).

The landing algorithm is as follows:

1. Trim too long rotten, dried and broken roots.
2. Process slices (crushed activated carbon is suitable).
3. Soak the roots in water – if they are very dry, then keep them like that for a day.
4. Pour the soil mixture into the planting hole with a mound.
5. Set the seedling strictly vertically, straighten the roots.
6. Fill the hole with soil mixture, periodically compacting the layer.
7. Set the stake to 30 cm.
