How to grow and care for it in Perth
1. Planting: Choose a sunny position with good drainage. Dig a hole approximately twice as wide as the root ball, plant at the same depth as the pot and water thoroughly.
2. Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil. Improve sandy Perth soil with compost before planting.
3. Watering: Water deeply and regularly during establishment and hot summer weather. Reduce watering during winter dormancy, while avoiding prolonged dryness during fruit development.
4. Fertilising: Apply a balanced fruit-tree fertiliser in spring. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of fruit.
5. Pruning: Prune lightly in winter to remove dead, damaged or crossing branches and maintain a manageable shape. Avoid heavy pruning if you want a good crop.
6. Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the root zone, keeping it clear of the trunk, to conserve moisture during Perth summers.
