Prefers warm sunny site with free draining fertile soils that are well mulched. Fertilise, irrigate and make sure weed free in July/Aug. to ensure healthy productive trees. Prune only when needed, by removing water shoots, skirting young trees and removing dead growth in late winter. Use DC Tron Plus oil in summer to control most pests.
