Cultivation Notes:  Prefers a fertile well-drained loam with some shelter at the hottest part of the day[200]. Plants are not very hardy in Britain, they require greenhouse protection[1]. It might be possible to grow this plant outdoors in the mildest areas of the country, especially if it is given the protection of a warm wall. The fruit is difficult to harvest because the it is tender and falls apart easily, therefore it is not suitable for commercial cultivation[183]. The fruit remains on the plant for several weeks and looks particularly ornamental[183]. Dioecious, male and female plants must be grown if seed and fruit is required.
