  • Germination: Can take anywhere from 14 to 35 days under proper warm conditions.
  • Transplanting: Harden off seedlings carefully before setting out into garden beds or 5-gallon containers once soil and air are reliably warm.

  • Light Requirement: Full Sun.
  • Care: Grow in loamy, well-draining soil. Let the top 2 inches of soil dry between thorough waterings. Always use gloves and eye protection when processing fresh or dried fruit.
