Light St. John's breadSole pieno
We advise cultivating the The St. John's bread outdoors, since it doesn't fear cold temperatures. With a particularly windy climate we suggest securing young trees to long solid stakes, to avoid that the wind could bare young and not very developed roots; specimens which are only a few years old might fear intense cold and wind.We suggest to position the The St. John's bread in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day.

Cultivation St. John's bread
The St. John's bread develops in an erect manner and, as the years go by, becomes a tree. The St. John's bread Is medium in size; in winter it assumes a green colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round. These plants have an erect development; in the lower part they usually show a bare stem, while towards the top they widen to form the crown.

Fertilize St. John's bread
Tree fertilization should be done at the beginning of the spring or of autumn, using humus or mature manure; this should be done by mixing a few buckets of fertilizer to the ground, around the trunk of the tree, every 2-3 years or when the tree implanted.

Water St. John's breadTenere asciutto
Water sporadically, with 1-2 buckets of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 4-5 weeks . We advise watering the young specimens, or the recently sheltered ones; the adult specimens usually are satisfied with rain water.

Pests St. John's bread
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.
