Planting and Care

Plant Syzygium cumini in a sunny area with well-draining soil. Water the tree regularly during its early years, especially in hot weather. Mature trees become more drought-resistant. Apply organic fertilizer annually for vigorous growth and fruit production. Prune lightly to maintain structure and remove deadwood. Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and control weeds.
