Planting Cassava Tree


This month, my cassava tree has grown about 15 cm. I’m excited to see its progress. It started off small, but it’s growing steadily. I’ve been taking care of it carefully, ensuring it gets enough sunlight and water for healthy growth.


The leaves of my cassava tree are green, but they seem weak. When children play around, they accidentally step on the leaves. I’m concerned, as this could affect the tree’s growth. I’ll have to find a way to protect it from being damaged.


I can harvest the cassava after 6 to 12 months. The exact time depends on how well it grows. I’m excited to see the progress and look forward to the harvest. Patience is key, but it’ll be rewarding once the time comes.

Cassava leaves are a common ingredient in many dishes. They can be cooked in various ways, often stewed or boiled, to create flavorful meals. Rich in vitamins, they add nutrition and texture to dishes.


I’ve noticed that the cassava stem is much harder than the root. As it grows, the stem gets bigger and tougher, while the root remains soft and starchy. It’s interesting how the different parts of the plant have unique characteristics.


I use natural fertilizer for my plants because it's environmentally friendly and promotes healthier growth. It helps enrich the soil with essential nutrients, ensuring that my plants thrive without harmful chemicals or synthetic additives.


In conclusion, cassava gardening is a low-maintenance activity. Once the land is fertile, the plants grow with minimal effort, making it an ideal crop for those seeking easy cultivation and harvest.

I tried planting cassava too in a very big field with my father and siblings using the carabao who plow the field. It was so tiring but seeing them grow fast. It feels so excited. I can feel what you feel. It is so nice if you have something waiting to be harvested. Very productive.

Cassava, one of my favorite root crops. You are so careful in growing your cassava, for sure they will propagate more because of your care. Yes, maybe it's better to protect them with a mini fence so they would not be stepped on accidentally. I didn't know it takes 6-12 months before you can harvest them. I particularly like boiled cassava with coconut milk.

My grandma has a farm and it has a lot of root crops and cassava tree was one of them. It was very easy to plant and just like what you said it is low maintenance and my favorite part was harvesting it because the cassava that we harvested is were going to make it "puto", cassava cakes and many more.
