Application of N, P, K mixture of 25 -50 g per tree, two times in a year help to augment the growth. The fertilizer requirements can be scheduled on need basis depending on the growth and development of the tree.
It does well in moist regions, with a mean annual rainfall exceeding 1000 mm.

This rate of growth is equivalent to 4 rings/ dm of radius.
