  • Soil acidification is neutral (pH 6).
  • The low-lying grounds and basins that cool air can stay must be avoided.
  • Slight incline.
  • Excellent daylight condition and looking toward south.

  • Plants trees after overturned soil is left for more than 6 months.
Planting row
  • Planting rows can slantly be created to make surface water well comes off.
  • Trees grow well and it is advantageous for management including work by agricultural machines.
Planting distance
  • The standard plant distance is kept to be 6*6 or 5*6 meters between the rows under the good site condition and soil of orchards.
Creating shelves
  • Palissee of trees is advantageous for the installation of columns to be installed to satisfy the planting distance for follow-up management work. Supplementary and support facilities must be installed not to make the self facilities (Palissee lines, supplementary and horizontal supports, etc.) drooped.
Measures for the wind
  • Create rain proof screens, houses and the wall for prevent the wind, and windbreaks.
