#ProPlantTips For Care

Requiring full sun for the most blooms and best crop, be sure to provide at least 6 hours of direct light per day!

Tolerating any type of soil that is well-drained, these trees don’t mind some acidic conditions. However, they do require consistent moisture availability and supplemental watering during drought.

A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.

Prune your tree to open the canopy for sunlight and air circulation to reach the interior. This prevents disease and mildew issues. Fruit needs to be thinned for larger fruit.
