Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Thrive in Full sun (6-8 hours) for best fruit, but tolerate partial shade. Consistent moisture, especially during fruiting; avoid waterlogging. Good air circulation (spacing plants) and mulching are key, with support from trellises helping manage sprawl and ease harvesting.
