Growing Conditions & Care in Perth
● Sun: Plant in full sun for strong growth and better fruit production.
● Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid areas where water remains around the roots.
● Water: Water regularly while establishing. Once established, it becomes relatively drought tolerant, but deep watering during Perth’s hot, dry summers helps maintain healthy growth and fruit production.
● Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced slow-release fertiliser during the warmer growing season.
● Pruning: Prune to develop a strong structure and control height and spread. Remove dead, damaged or crossing branches.
● Protection: Choose a warm, sheltered position, particularly when young. Protect young trees from cold conditions and strong winds.
● Fruit: Good sunlight, adequate moisture and suitable growing conditions encourage flowering and fruit development.
