Planting & Care

Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil, then dig a planting hole twice as wide as the root ball and equally deep. Set the tree in place, firm the soil, water thoroughly, and apply mulch around the base while keeping it away from the trunk. Water regularly throughout the growing season, checking soil moisture a few inches down to determine watering needs. Once established and fruiting, prune during dormancy to remove vertical shoots and any dead or diseased wood, maintaining a balanced shape that promotes continued productivity.
