PequiCaryocar brasiliense

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during cooler, less active periods.

Established trees are more drought-tolerant, but consistent moisture promotes better fruit production.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done after fruiting to maintain tree structure.

Heavy pruning is generally not recommended as it can reduce fruit yield.

Propagation is typically done through seeds, which require scarification and stratification for germination. Grafting is also used to ensure desirable fruit traits.

Cuttings are less common and can be challenging to root.

Younger trees may benefit from repotting every 2-3 years into a slightly larger container with well-draining potting mix. Mature trees are best left undisturbed or repotted infrequently, as they dislike root disturbance.
