Place your plant where it will get full sunlight for 6-8 hours. The more sun this plant gets, the more fruit it will bear.

Water this plant consistently until the roots get established in 1-2 years. This plant is drought tolerant after established.

This plant will not flower with humidity. It needs dry air to thrive.

Blooming will occur throughout the summer and cover the tree in trumpet-shaped, orange-red flowers (to 1 1/4” wide). Harvest fruit from September through December.

Fertilize in the spring when leaves begin to pop out, and all danger of frost has passed. Sprinkle Jon and Bob's organic fertilizer around the dripline to promote good soil health and add microorganisms to the soil. A light layer of compost is also good to add but do not push up against the canes.

Prune any dead, damaged, or diseased limbs while the plant is in dormancy. Prune out any cross branching to avoid rubbing.

When plants are dormant in late winter, prune a 10-inch long hardwood cutting with 1/4 to 1/2 inches stem diameter.
Remove leaves on 1/3 of the bottom half of the stem with pruners. (Do not tear off.)
Dip the ends in root hormone (mixed in water at a paste consistency) and place 1-2 inches down in damp, well-draining, moist potting soil mix with perlite and tamp down around the stem to secure it.
Use a 2-3 inch container with drainage that is deep enough for the roots to grow.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
After 6-12 weeks, roots will begin to form. You can tug onto the stem to ensure the roots establish after new growth begins.
Transplant to the garden after the roots are mature, setting your cuttings at least 3 feet apart.
