Ongoing Care & Maintenance

Watering 💧: Keep the soil moist during the first year of planting, ensuring proper root development. Once established, water deeply once a week during dry spells, allowing the soil to dry between waterings.
Pruning ✂️: Prune any dead or damaged leaves and stems, and remove any competing suckers to focus the plant's energy on fruit production.
