E like me nā lāʻau hua, ke aloha nei ka'āpana i ka mālamaʻia a mālamaʻia i nā manawa a pau, a laila e hāʻawi mai ia i ka maikaʻi o kaʻohi a mahalo iāʻoe i kona nani.
Me nāʻano hana a pau no ka mālamaʻana i ka māla,ʻo ia ka mea koʻikoʻi a me ka pākī. Ponoʻo ia no ka pololei o ka pololei, nā mākia a me nā akamai kūikawā. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻokōʻia kēiaʻano me kaʻikeʻoleʻia. ʻO kēia wale nō ke kumu o ka uluʻana i ka mahi kanuʻana, e kanu ana i nā kumu lāʻau, e loaʻa ana i ka pōmaikaʻi. Mai ka mua mai i ka loloa. Ma nā makahiki, ma o ka ho'āʻo a me ka hemahema, hiki iāʻoe ke aʻo i kēia. Hiki iāʻoe ke kanu i ka'āpana apricot i ke ākea a inā hiki, hiki i ka lāʻau hea? I kēia manawa e ho'āʻo mākou e hoʻomaopopo.
Ma ke kumu hea kaʻu e kanu ai i kahi'āpana apana?
ʻO ka'āpana apopo'āpana, e like me nā lāʻau hua, ua kanuʻia ma kahi rootstock,ʻo ia ke 3-5 mau makahiki. ʻO kēia wale nō ka makahiki i ka wā o ka mānoanoa o ke kumu i kahi o 4-10 cm. Ma ka lāʻau kahiko, heʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka lāʻau aʻoi loa ka launa ola.
Ma luna o kahi maʻi a maikaʻiʻole paha ulu ulu ma keʻano maʻamau,ʻaʻole pono ke kanu, koe wale nō he hana no ka aʻoʻana.
He aha ka lāʻau e hiki iāʻoe ke kanu i kahi'āpana?
Nuiʻole nā māla a me nā mea aloha wale nō paha, he mea paʻakikī paha inā he hiki ke kanu i kahi'āpana i ka cherry plum?
Hoʻomaʻamaʻa nā mea kanu i nā'āpana'ōpiʻomaʻi ma nā kumu hua lāʻau he nui, a he mea hiki nō paha ke maʻaʻia nāʻoki a ma hope mai ka hua e kiʻekiʻe loa.
E noʻonoʻo i nāʻano likeʻole o kaʻiliʻana i nā lāʻau likeʻole:
- ʻO ka plum. ʻO keʻano kaulana loa o kaʻiliʻana i kahi'āpana. No ka mea, heʻano ikaika loa aʻoi aku ka momona o nā pulu. Ma kahi o kāna mauʻokiʻoki, he kumu maikaʻi kona, a i ka wā e hiki mai ana, uaʻoluʻolu kahi hua.
- Ma ka paila. Eia kekahiʻano pinepine. Me ka hōʻoia ponoʻana ma ka pūnaewele o kaʻiliʻana,ʻaʻohe puka hale, e hōʻike ana i ka launa maikaʻi. ʻO ka mea pono wale nō ke lawe i nāʻano likeʻole.
- I ka pī. He kūpono kēia o ka lapaʻau no ka hema o ka'āina.
- Ma ka'āpana'āpana. ʻO ka koho maikaʻi a maikaʻi.
ʻO ka pinepine pinepine, nā māla'ikeleʻa e hana i ka'ōwili'āpana i ka manawa. Akā, pono ke kauʻana i ka lāʻau pākuʻi iʻole e uluʻia ka uluʻana.
ʻO ka lūlūʻana ma ke cherryʻaʻole i maʻa mau. ʻO nā lālā palupalu e hoʻopili i kēia hana. Hiki ke hopena i ka hopena maikaʻi inā paʻa muaʻia nā plums a me nā plums i ka cherry.
