These deep-rooted plants prefer rich and well-draining soil.
Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Prune by removing suckers and excess foliage to improve air circulation and direct energy toward fruit production. Fertilize regularly using a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer or an organic alternative. Monitor for common pests such as aphids and hornworms, applying organic pest control if needed.
