Deep and infrequent once established; erratic heavy watering after dry spells is what splits ripening fruit.

Full sun all year.

Unfussy; handles sand, salinity, and neglect. Container-capable at dwarf sizes.

September–November when the fruit turns from round to slightly angular and sounds metallic when tapped.
