Provide at least 6 hours of full, direct sun for best results, but those in the hottest of its climate range will find their tree appreciates a touch of afternoon shade to protect it from the summer sun and heat.

Tolerant of poor soil and alkaline conditions, you’ll find your tree fruits best when planted in average to moderately fertile soil that is very well-drained.

Water just enough to establish, then provide moderate moisture during the growing season. These are low maintenance and easy care plants, so sit back and enjoy the delectable fruit!
