Mix well-rotted cow dung manure, compost, and a small amount of NPK fertilizer into the soil to strengthen the stem. Always apply the fertilizer slightly away from the main stem of the plant to prevent root burn, followed by light irrigation.
Proper spacing ensures that trees receive enough sunlight and air so they can spread freely without crowding. Adequate spacing allows the trees to grow rapidly in both thickness and height uniformly.
