What to expect and pollination

Generally self-fruitful; pollinating insects can improve fruit set. Summer heat and winter chill may limit cropping. Actual age, height, canopy shape and fruiting status vary by nursery specimen. We confirm approximate dimensions and growing form during sourcing.

Planting and care

Site selection, soil drainage, establishment watering, organic mulch and appropriate seasonal pruning are important. Earth People Landcare can help design a suitable planting area and arrange professional installation, irrigation and follow-up plant care.
