The secret to sweet, juicy fruit? Regular, deep watering during fruit development (summer-fall) is key! Lack of water will result in dry fruit with a thick skin. Pruning tip: Prune after harvest (late winter) to maintain a comfortable height and encourage new branches. Remove dead and "old" branches to allow light to penetrate the tree. Why isn't the tree producing fruit? Young trees (less than 4 years old) usually won't produce fruit - be patient!
