My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Growing Salak fruit

17 years ago

Hi-

I have been growing rare fruits on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast for more than 20 years on our permaculture farm.

I have, through trial and error, established a regimen of maintenance and pollination that is starting to give me a continious supply of excellent salak production. What I want to improve with salak at this point is my technique of sucker removal to asexually propagate these plants. We are having some success but at less than 50% establishment I feel there remains lots of room to improve. Does anyone have experience dividing salak?
