Monkey-jack is a large tropical fruit tree best suited to warm, frost-free climates with rich, well-draining soil and consistent moisture. It grows best in full sun to partial shade and benefits from annual fertilisation during the growing season. Young trees need protection from cold snaps and should be watered generously until well established.
