Presoak seeds in hot water overnight and requires bottom heat of 25+ to germinate. Prefers a well drained position enriched with organic matter and slow release pelleted fertiliser. Keep well watered during the warmer months. Protect from frost while young. Provide a strong trellis to support the ample growth. Fertilise in spring and autumn. Prune in early spring by one third. Seed grown so will not sucker from root stock. Self pollinating.
