Water deeply regularly expecially during flowering and fruit period, and mulch and soil around the plants to protect the shallow roots. Lack of water will cause fruit to drop.
Soil:
Will grow in a wide variety of well drained soils, fairly salt resistant.
Maintenance:
Moderate regular watering and pruning lightly in summer light after fruit is harvested will encourage new growth and increase yields the following year.
