Light Peruvian peppertreeSole pieno
Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light. During the winter young plants could need a light protection from the wind or cold; when putting the very young specimens, with a thin stem, in shelter, we should provide them with a high stake to keep them erect.During this time of year the The Peruvian peppertree can be grown outdoors.

Cultivation Peruvian peppertree
The ramifications of these plants tend to develop downwards. This plant in the spring assumes a yellowpink colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 15 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. The Peruvian peppertree develops like a shrub.

Fertilize Peruvian peppertree
Trees tend to find a great part of nutrients in the soil, because their roots spread more than ten metres; in any case it is advisable to feed the soil with amendants, to guarantee a good quantity of mineral salts; every 2-3 years, in the spring or autumn, we suggest adding to the soil at the feet of the trunk, about a bucket of mature organic fertilizer.

Water Peruvian peppertreeTenere Umido
The Peruvian peppertree Needs regular watering, but we suggest letting the soil dry between one watering and the other; let's take action every 2-3 weeks , remembering to water the substratum well with 2-3 buckets of water . The young specimens, recently sheltered, need more cures compared to the adult specimens: as the years go by the development of a good radical apparatus allows the plant to be satisfied with the rain, without needing other waterings.

Pests Peruvian peppertree
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Mold Peruvian peppertree
These trees love quite soft, not too drained, soils.
