Use Brassica nigra (black mustard) or Brassica juncea (brown mustard). White mustard stays bushy, not tree-like.
✨ : Mustard trees grow fast – you’ll see a mini-tree in just 4–6 months!
Here’s how 👇
1️⃣ – Brown or black mustard seeds work best for tree-sized growth. 2️⃣ Pick a sunny spot – Mustard trees love full sun (6–8 hours/day). 3️⃣ Sow directly – Plant seeds ½ inch deep in well-draining soil. 4️⃣ Water wisely – Keep soil moist but not soggy. Germination: 3–7 days. 5️⃣ Give space – Thin seedlings to 2–3 feet apart. They can grow 15–20 ft tall! 6️⃣ Fertilize lightly – A balanced fertilizer once a month = lush growth. 7️⃣ Prune for shape – Remove lower branches to encourage a “tree” form.
