Water this plant regularly, when the top inch or so of soil feels dry. If you establish this pattern over several years, then you can cut back to watering every week or two in dry weather. Use drippers, emitters, or a slow stream of water so that it doesn't run off; allow the water to trickle all the way down through the deepest layers of soil. In a pot slowly water the entire surface until water comes out of the bottom of your pot. | |

Notas de cultivo
If your soil is mildly alkaline amending with cottonseed meal or chelated iron will help lower the PH to a level this plant can thrive. This may be needed if you see yellowing of the leaves.
Lightly prune to shape in early spring. The plant will also tolerate a hard cut back.
Interés especial
Leaves have light apple scent.
