info
Water this plant regularly, when the top inch or so of soil feels dry. If you establish this pattern over several years, then you can cut back to watering every week or two in dry weather. Use drippers, emitters, or a slow stream of water so that it doesn’t run off; allow the water to trickle all the way down through the deepest layers of soil. In a pot slowly water the entire surface until water comes out of the bottom of your pot.

Growing Notes

For a more open look thin out lower leaves, which are often held for a long time before cleaning falling off naturally over time. Prune them back to the trunk and let where they are attached to the trunk shed naturally over time.
Pruning berries before they fall can save time when doing your garden maintenance.
