Saku
Refers to virtually completing the process of composing a tree as a result of cultivation. Like farm products, they are sharply affected by weather and climatic conditions during the year. Although all-out efforts are made in giving them nutrition and protecting them from insect pests, they may not develop as expected because of the weather. Also, as there is an expression ”mo issaku suru,” the term is used for continuation of cultivation.
