Process :
1. Choose a planting location with deep, rich, well-drained loam and full sun exposure.
2. Fertilize twice during the first year, scratching the fertilizer into the ground around each tree's trunk and watering that ground afterward.
3. Water the plants at least once every two weeks during summer.
4. Snip back the tips of your sapling. Doing so forces them to branch out. Allow a few of the strongest branches evenly spaced around the trunk to remain, but remove all weak growth.
5. Pick the fruits after they turn from green to greenish yellow or greenish white, but check the seeds inside one berry before picking all of the berries. Seeds that turned from white to black indicate the fruit is ripe.
