Editing Spondias pinnata (section)

== Cultivation ==
=== Soil and water ===
In its documented range, ''Spondias pinnata'' grows in lowland and hill forests from about 300 to 1,200 m. <sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup> A cultivation account records a preference for well-drained soil. <sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup> Give the root zone drainage that prevents prolonged saturation, and maintain more even moisture while a young tree is establishing; the available species account does not support a fixed irrigation schedule.

=== Sun and humidity ===
Forest habitat is consistent with some tolerance of partial shade, while the cultivation account also records success in full sun. <sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup> Use a bright, open position where the soil remains adequately drained, or provide partial shade when establishing plants in a hotter site. Its tropical-Asian distribution is consistent with warm, humid cultivation, without implying a fixed humidity threshold or cold limit.

=== Seasonal changes ===
The tree is deciduous. In the Flora of China treatment area, flowering occurs from April to June and fruiting from August to September. <sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup> Treat those dates as regional rather than universal: in cultivation, observe local leaf fall and flowering before setting irrigation or harvest expectations, and protect the root zone from becoming waterlogged during seasonal rain.
