how to plant : 
Thoroughly dig the soil, incorporating plenty of compost or well-rotted cow manure, then plant. Form a dish drain, about 1.5m in diameter, by creating a low, doughnut-shaped mound around the sapling. This helps retain rain or irrigation water, directing it to the roots and aiding establishment. Mulch with hay, sugar cane, lucerne or compost to a depth of 10cm, keeping it away from the base of the trunk. Water well.
Feed saplings with organic fertiliser, once in spring and again in summer, until they reach flowering size. Then feed in summer after fruit starts to form, to encourage fruit quality and size rather than leafy growth. Watering and foliar feeding with seaweed tonic improves fruit quality and flavour and helps combat mineral deficiencies.
Train saplings to produce a single trunk about 1–2m high, then remove the tip of the leader. This encourages multiple side shoots and fruiting nearer ground level. No other pruning is necessary other than to improve the shape or remove damaged stems.
