Soil mixture
Deep sandy or sharply drained soil
Soil moisture
Deep irrigation with excellent drainage
Fertilizer
Use fruit-appropriate feeding in the active season; avoid pushing soft growth late in the season.
Pruning
Prune for airflow, shape, and fruiting wood where appropriate. Container fruits usually need size control.
Plant Diagnoser notes
Watch for yellowing leaves, brown tips, weak growth, pest residue, and soil that stays wet too long. Match symptoms against watering, light, soil drainage, airflow, and pest pressure.
