Planting & Care

Select a location receiving at least six hours of direct sunlight daily and ensure the soil drains well to prevent root issues. Space the tree away from structures and other plants to allow for mature size and good air movement around the canopy. Water regularly when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid waterlogging the roots. Prune to maintain shape and improve air circulation within the branches. While self-pollinating, planting multiple trees significantly increases your overall fruit yield.
