Plant each hole 3-4 fruits, 30-40cm apart, then fill the soil covered with fruits, only to open the sprouts. One hectare must grow from 250-360kg of seed to ensure a density of 1,000-1,500 trees / ha.

High mountainous areas have cool climates such as Sa Pa, Tam Dao, Lang Son, etc. chayote fruits in the summer, and in the winter (October onwards), due to coldness, the suede will die. In these areas, keep the seed by cutting the wire, leaving only 2m of the original part and circling the basket around the root, filling the mixture of fertilizer and soil to cover the warm tree so that it can be dormant in the eastern soil.

To Spring, in March when the weather is warm, the chayote will germinate and regenerate. Loosen the soil and apply the fertilizer and put the wire on the rig. In June, the fruits will be harvested and harvested until August, and by October, the chayote is old and can be used as a new fruit for the lowland areas that cannot be kept.
