How to keep Prunus Brasiliensis.

Water

Water Prunus brasiliensis based on its growth stage and the local climate conditions. Begin by watering once before the plant starts budding. From mid-spring to fall, water it monthly. Make sure to water thoroughly until you see water draining from the bottom, then loosen the soil and remove any weeds. Stop watering in autumn and winter to avoid frost damage.

Pruning

Prunus brasiliensis benefits from regular pruning to prevent overcrowding and to ensure proper air circulation and light exposure. This practice helps in preventing pests and diseases. Additionally, to improve fruit quality, it is recommended to remove some of the flowers and fruits. This allows the plant to concentrate its nutrients on the remaining fruits, enhancing their flavor.
