Thrives in full sun, needing at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce abundant fruit. Tolerates some light shade, but excessive shading can lead to fewer blossoms, and reduced fruit yield. Suited for hardiness zones 4-9, depending on the species.
Watering requirements
Water deeply once a week, especially during their first few years and during dry spells. Once established, they become more drought-tolerant, but consistent watering will help ensure juicy, healthy fruit.
