The trees are beautiful to behold in the garden even without fruits or flowers and with a little tender care will produce plenty of fruit for you and the family. They are best planted in full sun but will tolerate semi shade, although the more shade they get the fewer fruits there'll be and the more prone to disease the tree will be.
