Planting & Care

Select a location with full sun exposure and well-drained soil, then dig a planting hole twice as wide as the root ball and equally deep. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets, and add mulch around the base while keeping it away from the trunk. Water consistently each week, adjusting frequency during extreme heat or drought by checking soil moisture 2–3 inches down. Once established and fruiting, prune during the dormant season to remove vigorous upright branches, weak or damaged wood, and low-hanging growth—this encourages better fruit production.
