• Sun Requirements: Full sun (Requires at least 6–8 hours of direct, intense sunlight daily for optimal tree development and fruit production).

• Soil / Medium: Thrives in deep, rich, fertile, and exceptionally well-draining loamy soils. Ensure the ground does not remain waterlogged.

🌱 Pro Growing Tip: To accelerate and improve germination, carefully scarify or nick the hard seed coat, then soak the seeds in warm water for 24 to 48 hours before planting. Sow them in a warm, loose, sterile starting mix, and provide gentle warmth and bright indirect light until seedlings emerge!
