Requirements : Not very demanding for the soil, but gives better results in slightly clayey but well drained soils. An annual rainfall of 1700 to 2000 mm seems to be optimal.
  
 +
Propagation : By seeds (seedling emergence takes 30 to 40 days) or by leaf-cuttings of terminal twigs. The cuttings should be 20 to 30 cm long and need between up to six months to a year before planting. The latter method of multiplication allows you to choose the plant individual which gives the most abundant fructifications, select large sized fruits and select them for a better flavor.
 +
 +
Cultivation : Planting needs spacings of 4.50 to 5 m in all directions or, better, in hedges at 2.50 m on a single line and 4.75 to 5 m between the rows.
 +
 +
Production : Plants grown from seeds start yielding roughly after two years, those from cuttings about six months earlier. They then give about 4 to 6 kg of fruit per plant. Production increases rapidly after three years and is maintained for about fifteen years. A five-year-old tree, grown in good conditions, can yield 20 to 30 and even 50 kg for good selections per year during the various annual harvests. Fruits should be picked every two to three days during harvest periods (early fall and fruit fragility). (Fouqué)

History

  • Curtis's botanical magazine, 1805, vol. 21-22, pl. 813

Uses

"La pulpe, d'agréable saveur aigrelette, est consommée crue, sous forme de confitures, gelées, etc. Très périssable, le fruit doit être utilisé aussitôt après la récolte. C'est le fruit le plus riche en vitamine C. Il contient entre 1000 et 3000 mg d'acide ascorbique pour 100 g de pulpe. Cette teneur en vitamine C diminue avec l'avancement de la maturation."

(Fouqué, 1972).


In the tropics and subtropics cultivated (e.g. Puerto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica, Venezuela, Surinam, French Guiana, Brazil, Peru, Canary Isl., Ethiopia, Ghana, Madagascar, Zanzibar, India, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Java, Hawaii, Australia). The fruits are characterized by an unusual high vitamin C content (1-4 g per 100 g juice). They are eaten raw, stewed or candied and are used for making juice, preserves, jam, syrup, jelly, ice-cream, sauces, sherbets and for the extraction of vitamin C. The juice is utilized among others for the improvement of beverages being low on vitamins. Beside this the species is grown as hedge plant.
