📏 Size & Growth Potential

☀️ Light & Water Needs

Malay Apple thrives in full sun exposure, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth, flowering, and abundant fruiting. Water thoroughly when the top 1-Inch of soil feels dry to the touch, which typically means 2-3 times per week in warmer climates. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Pruning can be done to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or diseased branches. Protect from strong winds when young.
