Blue agave (A. tequilana) takes 7-10 years to mature; harvest when the pina (heart) reaches 30-70 kg and sugar content peaks.
Remove the quiote (flower stalk) when it appears to redirect energy into the pina, increasing sugar content for spirit production.
Plant on slopes or raised beds in regions with any risk of waterlogging — agave roots rot rapidly in saturated soils.
