For the genus blighia, choose well-draining soil with a preference for slight acidity to neutral pH. They require a location with full sun to partial shade and consistent moisture, without waterlogging. To plant, dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Gently backfill, water thoroughly, and mulch to retain moisture. Regular watering is crucial during establishment. Different blighia species may have specific needs, thus, tailor care to individual species.
