Plant Care
Light |
Plant in a warm sheltered position. |
Water |
Plenty of water around summer, less during winter. Never let the soil dry out or the roots to soak in water |
Soil |
Well-draining, mulch well to keep moist all year around. Prefer to be planted on the mound. Can’t tolerate clayish soil. Add scoria at the bottom of planter/pot for good drainage and some blood and bone in the hole prior to planting |
Fertilizer |
Every 4 weeks from spring to autumn. Love seaweed juice. Mulch and use any kind of fertilizer. Nitrogen hungry. Give chicken manure 3 times a year |
Wind |
Keep away from strong wind. Young or small plants will require protection cover to establish well. Stake the plant /branch for support |
Frost |
Frost tender when young, provide shade or cloth cover during winter. An exception is the Mexicola variety which is very frost tolerant |
Fruiting |
1-2 years for grafted and cutting grown. 4+ years from seedlings. Planting both A and B type improves fruit set. Plant flowers like lavender close by to encourage bees around |
Pruning |
Every 1st April for vigorous growth the following season |
