- Let us not forget that groundnuts fruit very poorly without cross-pollination, a pollinator with the same flowering period is always suitable. Although the variety is partially self-pollinating , without pollination by another variety the crop is poor and the berries are very small. The best pollinators for INDIGO GEM. are Tundra, Boreal Beast , Borealis. One INDIGO GEM plant can provide pollen for up to 8 plants, it is used as a pollinator.
- Planting of plants when hand harvesting should be 1,5m . To make pollination even more efficient.
- Cutting Zemolez is sufficient after 4 years after planting. The first pruning in the fifth year is done by removing the old shoots. This gives the plant more light, which is ideal for fruit formation and ripening. Pruning can be done after harvest or before flowering.
