It is important to handle the fruits gently to avoid bruising. The best time to harvest is during the dry season to ensure the fruits are less likely to spoil. Regular harvesting encourages continuous fruit production.

Sol

Bilimbi trees prefer loamy soil that is well-draining yet retains moisture. The soil should be rich in organic matter and slightly acidic to neutral in pH. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging, which can harm the roots.
