Right plant, right place

Water

Deep, regular irrigation with drying between cycles; expand the wetted zone as the canopy grows

Fruit set

Can set alone; cross-pollination increases crop and seeds

Planting & stewardship

1
Verify both the named cultivar and rootstock on the nursery tag before planting.
2
Whitewash newly exposed bark and protect cold-sensitive trees during hard freezes.
3
Feed in several light applications during the active season rather than one heavy dose.
4
Let fruit color and flavor—not a calendar date alone—confirm harvest readiness.
