Recommended Spacing

We recommend spacing these plants 2 - 3' apart to ensure room for growth.

Pollination

In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You'll get fruit with only one plant!
