Parent stock. Cuttings are taken from mature mother plants that flower and fruit every year over a 4.8-month season, with an expected yield of 8–10 kg per plant per year. Under good agronomic conditions, cuttings are expected to flower within 18 months, depending on planting time. Yields are expected, not guaranteed.
