Consejos de cultivo

Rain-induced cracking is the greatest risk; overhead rain covers or helicopter drying are used in major production regions.

Spotted wing drosophila has become a devastating pest worldwide; monitor with traps and apply targeted treatments as fruit begins to color.

Dwarf rootstocks (Gisela series) allow high-density plantings with earlier bearing and easier harvest compared to standard trees.
