Growing advice

- Suitable for containers
- Support needed
- Substantial
- Growing notes
- Grow as a supported cordon and remove side shoots where that training system is used. Maintain even moisture: although an older Cornell description calls the fruit crack-free, current Johnny's information and grower experience show a meaningful tendency to split, especially after moisture fluctuations. Soil/culture: moist, well-drained clay, loam or sandy soil
