Site Requirements /Soil Tolerances: Adaptable to most types of soil and doesn't require much fertilizer. To protect the fruit from sunburn and other adverse effects of high temperature, choose a plant site away from hot, reflected sun. They are fairly salt tolerant but salinity slows growth and reduces yields.
Culture: Two or more should be planted together for cross-pollination. Under proper conditions, plants fruit in 3 to 5 years from seed. Fruits ripen 4-1/2 to 7 months after flowers appear. A feeding of 8-8-8 NPK once every two months can speed growth. The best harvests come from plants growing in well-drained soil with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0. For quality harvests, water deeply on a regular basis, especially during flowering and fruit periods and mulch the soil around the plants to protect the shallow roots.
Pruning: Pruning is not required to keep plants productive but a light pruning in the summer after fruit is harvested will encourage new growth and increase yields the following year. Thinning the plant also permits easier harvesting. When grown as a hedge, it responds well to heavy pruning or shearing, but this reduces flower and fruit production.
Uses: Excellent foundation planting, either singly or as an informal hedge.
