Planting at a glance
- Season: Tropical tree; warm season
- Start: Direct sow in a permanent spot or start a deep individual pot
- Seed depth: About ½ inch
- Germination: Often 7–14 days in warm conditions
- Final spacing: Allow about 10 feet for tree growth; closer leaf production needs deliberate regular pruning
- Light: Full sun
- Harvest planning: A long-term tree crop; begin modest leaf picking only after strong establishment
When to plant
Plant outdoors after frost danger passes and the soil has warmed. In short-season areas, count back from your intended outdoor planting date for indoor starts. Protect from frost and cold, wet soil.
How to plant
- Prepare loose, well-drained soil or a clean seed-starting mix. Direct sow in a permanent spot or start a deep individual pot.
- Sow About ½ inch deep. Keep the seedbed evenly moist until seedlings emerge. Then water when the soil needs it, allowing excess water to drain.
- Thin or transplant to the listed final spacing. Give seedlings sufficient light and check moisture as roots establish.
How to harvest
Pick small amounts of leafy shoots from an established plant. Leave enough growth to rebuild the canopy.
Aunt E’s tip: Choose your plan—managed leaf crop or full tree—before you choose the spacing.
