To ensure a successful growing experience, this tropical fruit tree thrives in climates with moderate humidity, though it also performs well in high-humidity areas. In colder climates, provide a sunny location, while warmer areas may benefit from some afternoon shade. Regular watering is important, but the trees can tolerate short periods of drought once established. These trees have large taproot systems, so deep, well-draining soil is essential for optimal growth. Fruits are best eaten ripe, scooped out with a spoon. Unripe fruits can be bitter, and the flesh near the skin may also have a bitter taste. It is essential to pick them when they are soft.
