Essential Care Guide

Sunlight and Climate Needs

• Sunlight: Requires a location that receives full and direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for optimal fruit production. Young plants (initial 1-2 years) must be protected from scorching summer sun.
• Climate: Grows best in temperate and moist subtropical climates.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in deep, well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content. The plant adapts to various soil types, but well-draining conditions are essential to prevent root rot.
• Watering: Water deeply and regularly when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Maintain consistent soil moisture, particularly during the growing season and dry spells.
• Pruning: Pruning in late winter or early spring during the dormant season is important to remove dead wood, shape the canopy, and promote healthy air circulation and sunlight penetration.
