The secret to sweet and juicy fruit? Consistent and deep watering during fruit development (summer-autumn) is key! A lack of water will cause dry fruit with a thick rind. Pruning tip: Prune after harvesting (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 bearing fruit? Young trees (less than 4 years old) usually do not bear fruit yet - be patient!
