Pruning: Regular pruning during the dormant season helps shape the tree, improve airflow, and promote fruit development. Pruning also assists in maintaining the tree's structure.

Watering: Consistent moisture is vital, especially during the growing season. Deep watering at the root zone encourages vigorous growth and a bountiful harvest. We recommend a minimum 2 gallons of water every single day for the first 3-4 months. During the Summer trees need to be water early in the morning and in the afternoon, twice a day!
