Care

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant (grafted/air-layered as stated), not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. The tree's sap is a sticky latex that can irritate skin - handle with gloves when pruning. The fruit itself is safe and nutritious.
