Planting and Growing Tips:

• Upon Arrival: Give your plant a thorough watering and place it in a sheltered, partially shaded location. This helps it recover from the journey.

• Acclimatization: Leave it in its original pot for a few days before repotting or planting.

• Repotting: The best time to repot or plant into the ground is when you see roots beginning to grow through the drainage holes.

• Watering: Water deeply immediately after planting. Continue to water regularly while the plant establishes its roots.

• Position: This plant thrives in a well-drained position and does not like to sit in water. For best results, consider planting in a slightly raised garden bed.

Fruiting:
You can expect your first fruit within 1-2 years after planting, depending on growing conditions.
